Mosaic Tile vs Passive

Mosaic Tile and Passive come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Mosaic Tile reads as blue, while Passive reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The NaN-point LRV gap — 60 for Passive vs NaN for Mosaic Tile — means Passive will open up a space more effectively. Where Mosaic Tile leans cool, Passive reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
