Scarecrow vs Passageway

ScarecrowBenjamin MoorevsPassagewayValsparΔE 37.0Very different colors

Scarecrow (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Scarecrow reads as beige-greige, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 29 for Scarecrow vs 14 for Passageway — means Scarecrow will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 37.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
