Airway vs Wizard

AirwayBenjamin MoorevsWizardBenjamin MooreΔE 50.7 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Airway (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Wizard (LRV 8), a difference of 47 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Airway runs cool while Wizard is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 50.7, 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. 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.
