Benjamin Moore

Mediterranean Breeze

799

Mediterranean Breeze is a light powder blue with soft gray undertones that keep it from reading as overtly saturated. With an LRV of 62.31, it reflects a significant amount of light, placing it in the upper-mid range where it can function almost as a tinted neutral. The gray undertone tempers the blue, giving the color a dusty, muted quality rather than a primary-blue intensity.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Heron (OC-57) and Distant Gray (OC-68) for clean, light backdrops, Sequoia (1245) for warm contrast, and Pale Celery (OC-116) for a subtle complementary shift.

Mediterranean 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.

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.
