Yep, these are all BM samples. I also can't figure out why Grey Cloud is reading so dark on my walls (love it in your pics). I sampled Sweet Innocence and thought that it was darker than all of them. Do you think Marilyn's Dress would work better than the Iced Cube Silver or Mineral Ice?

did you prime the walls before trying the samples? it will make a diff.

mineral ice is more blue toned

Iced cube silver isn't bad.

Marilyns dress will be similar to this one. I also used Sweet Innocence on one wall. it's very similar to gray cloud.

try painting over those swatches w/a white primer and try again w/your samples.

I think Mineral Ice looks more in common with your rug in the top picture? Monitors may not be as accurate. Don't discount the value of a great Prime Coat. The primer included paint colors, seem to be less consistent in various light situations. Soft lighting for a bedroom, may change what you see on your walls, tho...or a down light fixture vs an enclosed one, vs one that is a pearl glass or a frosted glass....it all does make things look different on the walls as they interact with other fabrics and wood tones in the furniture, etc. Nice choices, any of them probably!

I painted all the interior of my house 8 years ago in ice cube silver still LOVE IT Will be repainting batrooms and laudry this week and still doing the ice cube silver! it is such a peaceful, calming pale soft blue without screaming blue You wont regret it

I love ice cubed silver! i have it in a few

rooms and was going to paint my whole house but wasnt sure!

Ask to compare the pigment ”recipe” with a blue tone that you like.

Does anyone have any pictures of the ice cubed silver in their house? thinking of using it throughout my first floor but it seems dark??

It is definitely not dark. its a pale gray with blue undertones at certain times of the day. It’s so pretty. I have it in three rooms in my house - a powder bathroom that has no windows, a guest bedroom that gets indirect light and another bedroom that gets midday light. i love it in every room! you should definitely get the Samplize sample and see what it looks like in your space. Here are pics from my house

I chose Ice Cube Silver for all 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Here are pics I have that are somewhat true depending on the room’s lighting when the pics were taken. I think you can how see the sun exposure of each room and the time of day plus window light allowed in affects the color. Painting samples on plain white paint store boards that I moved from room to room and viewed different times of day helped me choose this color after weeks of testing. I knew then that I’d like it in each no matter what the lighting. I love the lightness in the main bedroom with light greyed oak furniture and lots of white accents but the darker hue in the room with darker wood night tables, desk, black accents. This room tends to have the least amount of light The bunk bed room furnishings have candy colors that make Ice Cube Silver look more pastel blue in the northern exposure room. I love all the hues and the versatility of this paint color. Hope this helps.

plus yhe bath

Here are the pics…

The bunk bed room pic wall color is much more soft blue in reality. Here’s one more pic of yhe southern exposure half bath.
