Alfresco vs Passageway
Where Alfresco belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Passageway is a Valspar color. Alfresco reads as blue, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Alfresco (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Passageway (LRV 14), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
