Summer Nights vs Passageway

Summer NightsBenjamin MoorevsPassagewayValsparΔE 11.6Distinct difference

Summer Nights (Benjamin Moore) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Summer Nights reads as blue, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Passageway vs 11 for Summer Nights — means Passageway will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 11.6 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
