Empty Quarter vs Passageway
Empty Quarter (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Empty Quarter reads as beige, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 60 for Empty Quarter vs 14 for Passageway — means Empty Quarter will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 50.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
