Benjamin Moore

Wind's Breath

OC-24, 981

Winds Breath from Benjamin Moore is a warm off-white with noticeable gray undertones that prevent it from leaning too yellow or pink. Its hex value is #DFDBCD and it has an LRV of 69.59, which places it in the upper-mid range for light reflectance -- bright enough to open up a room but with enough body to read as more than plain white. It works well as a whole-house neutral in hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms.

Winds Breath pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore colors such as White Dove, Simply White, Kendall Charcoal, Chelsea Gray, and Palladian Blue.
