Benjamin Moore

Nantucket Breeze

521

Nantucket Breeze (521) is a muted yellow-green neutral with an LRV of 65.45, placing it in the upper-mid reflectance range. Its base is a soft yellow with green and gray undertones that prevent it from reading as overtly warm, instead, it leans toward a washed khaki-sage territory. The gray component tempers the color, making it adaptable across varying light conditions.

For coordinating schemes, it pairs naturally with Swiss Coffee (OC-45) as a warm white companion, Millstone Gray (1581) for tonal depth, Distant Gray (OC-68) for a quiet monochromatic approach, and Chalk White (2126-70) for crisp trim contrast.
