What color is Benjamin Moore Gentle Breeze?
Benjamin Moore Gentle Breeze 589 is a light aqua-green with a clean mint cast and a noticeable softness from its pale value. The color sits on the cool side, though its gentle green component keeps it from reading like an icy blue. In bright daylight, Gentle Breeze can look fresher and slightly more blue-green, while lower or warmer light may bring out its softer mint character. It is especially suited to bathroom walls, laundry rooms, sunrooms, or a child’s bedroom where a light, airy wash of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light maple, brushed nickel, or deeper teal and leafy green accents for contrast.

LRV of Gentle Breeze
Gentle Breeze has an LRV of 69.9% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
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 69.9%, 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.
