Benjamin Moore

Breath of Fresh Air

806

Breath of Fresh Air is a light blue with a soft gray undertone. Its LRV of 69.09 keeps it bright and reflective, so it reads pale in most rooms. It works in bedrooms, bathrooms, or nurseries where a light blue is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Soft Chamois for warm whites, and with Hale Navy or Stormy Monday for contrast; Sea Foam or Lavender Mist can extend the cool range.
