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.

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 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.
