Slow GreenSherwin-WilliamsvsPassagewayValsparΔE 41.5Very different colors

Slow Green reads as green, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 50-point LRV gap — 64 for Slow Green vs 14 for Passageway — means Slow Green will open up a space more effectively.

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.
