Breaktime

SW 6463

Breaktime (#C4D9CE) is a cool green with subtle blue undertones, registering an LRV of 66, which gives it strong light-reflecting properties without reading as overly pale. The blue-green lean keeps it feeling fresh and slightly aquatic rather than leafy, making it functional in bathrooms, bedrooms, and smaller rooms where light amplification helps. It sits comfortably within coastal and modern palettes.

For a tonal approach, pair it with Sherwin-Williams White Mint or Filmy Green. Deeper accents like Sea Serpent or Charcoal Blue provide contrast, and Rainwashed works as a close analogous neighbor.
