Benjamin Moore

Baby's Breath

873 / OC-62

Baby's Breath is a clean white with soft blue undertones that keep it cool. The LRV of 81.5 is high, so it reflects a large amount of light and stays bright on walls. In strong daylight it can show glare on smooth finishes.

It is suitable for ceilings, trim, or full-room white schemes where cool neutrality is needed. Pair it with White Diamond and Gray Owl for related cool tones, and use Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.
