Artifact vs Passageway

The 7-point LRV gap — 21 for Artifact vs 14 for Passageway — means Artifact will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.8 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
