Valspar

Breath of Green

M335

Breath of Green is a pale blue-green with a misty gray veil. It is barely there, but useful. The color can freshen bath walls, ceilings, or a laundry room without turning minty.

White tile, pale oak, or brushed nickel keep the look clean. Very warm bulbs can make the green feel stronger. In cool daylight, it becomes more silvery.

Breath of Green 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.
