Give this sample a clear job

Why the honey oak and ivory curtains relationship matters
Ivory curtains influence a large part of the view when closed, so evening assessment should include them beside the honey-toned wood.

Keep the comparison fair
Keep the Breath Of Fresh Air sample broad enough to show its hue, with honey oak and ivory curtains beside it. Remove extra paint chips during the final review and restore the belongings that will remain. Approve the color on its own, rather than a preference that depends on an unchosen neighboring sample.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Check the paint with the curtains closed as well as open; the fabric changes the room's visible color balance. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore 806 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
