Deep Space vs Passageway
Where Deep Space belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Passageway is a Valspar color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Passageway (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Deep Space (LRV 10), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Deep Space vs Passageway in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Deep Space and Passageway are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Passageway gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Passageway reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Passageway reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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