Airway vs Saybrook Sage

AirwayBenjamin MoorevsSaybrook SageBenjamin MooreΔE 21.9Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Airway reads as blue, while Saybrook Sage reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Airway (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Saybrook Sage (LRV 45), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Airway runs blue while Saybrook Sage is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
