Ice Cube Silver
What Ice Cube Silver Actually Looks Like
Ice Cube Silver sits right at the edge of white and gray. In good natural light it reads as a bright, clean white. Pull it into a north-facing room or a space with limited windows and the gray character comes forward, though it never turns heavy or moody. It carries a subtle cool quality that makes walls feel fresh and airy rather than stark.
Ice Cube Silver Undertones
The undertone here is a faint green, not a blue or a purple. It is very subtle and most people will not clock it as green at all, but it is what gives the color its clean, slightly crisp edge. There are no yellow or pink undertones to speak of, which is why it does not drift warm the way many off-whites do. In rooms with a lot of natural greenery visible through windows, that green hint can read a touch more pronounced.
Where Ice Cube Silver Works Best
This color works well in rooms where you want a white feeling without the flatness of a true stark white. It suits open-plan spaces, bathrooms, and kitchens where cleanliness and light matter. Because it reads so close to white, it also works as a wall color in spaces paired with cool-toned materials like marble, chrome, or light wood. It handles direct sunlight without washing out, and it stays readable in lower-light conditions without going dingy.
Where to put Ice Cube Silver
On kitchen walls or cabinets, Ice Cube Silver gives you the look of white without the harshness. Pair it with light gray or white countertops and stainless or chrome fixtures and the whole room feels cohesive and clean. The slight green undertone plays nicely with natural light coming in over a sink.
In a bathroom with cool or neutral tile, this color blends seamlessly and adds a sense of quiet brightness. It will not compete with white grout or subway tile, and in a well-lit bathroom it reads almost indistinguishably from white while still having a little more depth.
For a work space where you want a focused, uncluttered feel, Ice Cube Silver keeps things calm without being cold. It works especially well in rooms with east or west exposure, where light shifts through the day but never goes dramatically warm.
In a larger living room, this color recedes quietly and lets furniture and art do the work. It is a reliable backdrop for rooms with a mix of materials because it does not pull strongly in any warm direction.
What to Pair With Ice Cube Silver
No specific coordinating colors are included in this color's swatch set, but Ice Cube Silver pairs naturally with cool-toned whites on trim, soft blue-greens on accents, and warm wood tones that give the room some contrast without fighting the color's clean character.

Colors that clash with Ice Cube Silver
Ice Cube Silver's cool, faintly green character will fight with heavily warm yellow or golden finishes nearby, whether that is a honey-toned wood floor, brass hardware, or a warm yellow accent wall. The contrast highlights the cool undertone in a way that can feel slightly off rather than intentional.
If a neighboring room is painted in a creamy or warm white, putting Ice Cube Silver next to it in an open-plan layout can make both colors look off. The warm white will read yellower and the Ice Cube Silver will read noticeably cooler than either would on their own.
Common questions
The Benjamin Moore color code is 2121-50. The LRV is 73.74, which puts it firmly in light territory, close to white on the value scale. The hex and RGB values render in the color swatch above.
In most well-lit rooms it reads as white. The gray character becomes more apparent in low light or north-facing exposures, but even then it stays light. Most people living with it day to day will think of it as a white room.
Not in most conditions. It is subtle enough that the average person will not identify it as green. It becomes more noticeable when you place the color directly next to a warm white or in a room where green is already present in plants or tile. In neutral or cool-toned rooms it simply reads as clean and crisp.
Eggshell is the most practical choice for living spaces and bedrooms because it holds up to cleaning and gives the color a soft, even appearance. For bathrooms and kitchens, a satin finish adds durability. Flat or matte works in low-traffic rooms and emphasizes the airy, white-like quality of the color.
