Crocus vs Passageway
Crocus (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Crocus belongs to the blue-purple family and Passageway to the blue-grey family. The 29-point LRV gap — 43 for Crocus vs 14 for Passageway — means Crocus will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 30.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Crocus vs Passageway Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Crocus 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.
