Buckhorn vs Passageway
Buckhorn (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Buckhorn reads as beige-greige, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 18 for Buckhorn vs 14 for Passageway — means Buckhorn will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Buckhorn vs Passageway Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Buckhorn on one side and Passageway on the other.
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.
