Mosaic Tile vs Passive
Mosaic Tile and Passive come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Mosaic Tile reads as blue, while Passive reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The NaN-point LRV gap — 60 for Passive vs NaN for Mosaic Tile — means Passive will open up a space more effectively. Where Mosaic Tile leans cool, Passive reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 48.0 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.

Mosaic Tile vs Passive Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mosaic Tile on one side and Passive on the other.
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.
