What color is Benjamin Moore Nantucket Breeze?
Benjamin Moore Nantucket Breeze 521 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading like a plain cream. Its soft, low-saturation appearance gives walls a gently aged, organic look, especially alongside natural oak, linen, rattan, or honed stone. In brighter daylight, the pale khaki undertone is more apparent, while lower light can make this color feel slightly warmer and more subdued. It suits bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and quiet living spaces where a light neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair Nantucket Breeze with warm white trim, earthy olive accents, and charcoal or aged-bronze hardware for grounded contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Nantucket Breeze undertones?
Nantucket Breeze is a light, muted yellow-green with low saturation, so it reads as soft rather than bright or sharply green. The visible color family leans yellow, with a slight green bias that gives the pale beige-yellow base a subtle green cast. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “soft yellow-green,” which aligns with the sample’s overall yellow-green appearance. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow side, while cool daylight can make its green influence easier to notice.

LRV of Nantucket Breeze
Nantucket Breeze has an LRV of 65.45% 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 65.45%, 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.
