Poinsettia vs Passageway
Poinsettia (Sherwin-Williams) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Poinsettia reads as pink-red, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 14 for Passageway vs 10 for Poinsettia — means Passageway will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 55.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
