What color is Benjamin Moore Fresh Air?

Benjamin Moore Fresh Air 211 is a pale, creamy yellow with a noticeable ivory cast that keeps it soft rather than bright. Its warm undertone can read like sun-faded linen in daylight, while warmer bulbs bring out more of its buttery character. Fresh Air suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and north-facing living spaces that need a little visual warmth without the weight of a deeper gold. Use it on walls with crisp white trim for a clean contrast, or pair it with natural oak, woven grasscloth, and muted sage or dusty blue accents. Because it is light and low in saturation, this shade is best used across larger wall areas rather than as a sharp, high-impact accent.

LRV of Fresh Air

Fresh Air has an LRV of 81.26% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of lightWhy LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 81.26%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
