Ryegrass vs Passageway

RyegrassSherwin-WilliamsvsPassagewayValsparΔE 42.7Very different colors

Ryegrass (Sherwin-Williams) and Passageway (Valspar) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Ryegrass belongs to the beige-greige family and Passageway to the blue-grey family. The 26-point LRV gap — 40 for Ryegrass vs 14 for Passageway — means Ryegrass will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 42.7 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.
