Is Breath Of Fresh Air Warm or Cool? Color Character in Context

Start with the documented color character

Breath of Fresh Air is a light blue. Temperature is a useful description, but neighboring materials can change the impression. Breath of Fresh Air is lighter than Woodlawn Blue, making it a useful option when less blue depth is wanted.

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.

Breath Of Fresh Air has an LRV of 69.09; Benjamin Moore Ocean Air 2123-50 is 71.84. The difference is 2.75 points, with Ocean Air returning more light under the reference measurement. Ocean Air is a pale blue-green with a high light reflectance value. This supplies a named color control; the LRV gap alone does not identify the warmer, greener or pinker paint.

Use Ocean Air as a control

Use a warmer and a cooler object already in the room to assess Breath Of Fresh Air, keeping their real proportions visible. The target is a coherent relationship with honey oak and ivory curtains. Do not assume that every blue behaves alike or that all greens belong on the same side of a temperature label.

Separate a persistent cast from a comparison effect

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.

Judge the temperature description against the full honey oak and ivory curtains arrangement. A warm or cool label is a useful starting category; it cannot guarantee that Breath Of Fresh Air agrees with every material assigned the same label. The wood-floor pairing guide covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
