Subway Tile® vs Passageway
Subway Tile® (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 28-point LRV gap — 43 for Subway Tile® vs 14 for Passageway — means Subway Tile® will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 27.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
