Jolly Green vs Passageway

Jolly GreenSherwin-WilliamsvsPassagewayValsparΔE 66.6Very different colors

Jolly Green (Sherwin-Williams) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Jolly Green reads as green, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 16-point LRV gap — 30 for Jolly Green vs 14 for Passageway — means Jolly Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 66.6 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. 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.
