Serene Breeze

449

Serene Breeze is a pale green that carries noticeable blue-gray undertones, shifting its appearance depending on light conditions. With an LRV of 68.55, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as open and airy on walls. The blue-gray component prevents it from appearing overly warm or yellow.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore Cloud White for clean trim pairings and sits comfortably next to Palladian Blue in tonal schemes. Hale Navy provides strong value contrast, while Revere Pewter and Sea Salt round out a balanced, cool-leaning palette.

Serene 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.
