Mesquite vs Passageway
Mesquite (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Mesquite reads as beige-greige, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 53 for Mesquite vs 14 for Passageway — means Mesquite will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 42.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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