Benjamin Moore

Airway

828 / CC-820

Airway by Benjamin Moore is a periwinkle that balances blue and violet undertones, leaning cool without becoming overly saturated. Its LRV of 54.99 puts it in the mid-brightness range, so it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as an open, relaxed tone on walls. Bedrooms, home offices, and reading areas are practical applications for this shade.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore colors such as Alaskan Husky and Silver Half Dollar for a tonal cool palette, or Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal for stronger contrast, while Simply White keeps trim clean against it.
