Goblin vs Passageway
Where Goblin belongs to Little Greene's range, Passageway is a Valspar color. Goblin reads as blue, while Passageway reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Passageway (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Goblin (LRV 11), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 11.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Goblin vs Passageway in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Seeing Goblin and Passageway in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.

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.
