California Breeze

757

California Breeze is a light sky blue with cool undertones. Its LRV of 63.16 keeps it in the light mid-tone range. It works in bedrooms, bathrooms, or airy living spaces with a cool palette.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for clean trim. Ocean Air, Palladian Blue, or Hale Navy provide related or contrasting blues. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.

California Breeze in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
