Benjamin Moore

Fresh Air

211

Fresh Air is a light yellow with soft, warm undertones that keep the color from appearing too lemony or acidic. With an LRV of 81.26, this shade reflects considerable light and works well in kitchens, breakfast nooks, and bedrooms where a bright, open feel is needed. The warmth in this yellow prevents it from reading cold under artificial lighting.

Fresh Air pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for clean transitions, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can anchor the palette, and Pale Oak provides a neutral bridge.

Fresh Air 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
