About Icicle
Icicle (2142-70) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 84, Icicle reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Icicle's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. It's very close to Vanilla Milkshake (OC-59); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
