Polar Ice vs Passageway
Polar Ice (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Polar Ice belongs to the blue family and Passageway to the blue-grey family. The 59-point LRV gap — 74 for Polar Ice vs 14 for Passageway — means Polar Ice will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 44.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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