Barley vs Passageway
Barley (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Barley reads as beige, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 53-point LRV gap — 68 for Barley vs 14 for Passageway — means Barley will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 55.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
