Purple Passage vs Passageway
Purple Passage is a Sherwin-Williams color while Passageway comes from Valspar. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 12 and 14, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 13.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
