What color is Benjamin Moore Serene Breeze?
Benjamin Moore Serene Breeze 449 is a light, softened green with a cool gray cast and a gentle hint of blue. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly minty, giving walls a quiet washed-color effect instead. In bright daylight, it can look cleaner and airier, while lower or cooler light brings forward its muted gray-green side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and sunrooms, especially with warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair Serene Breeze with charcoal accents or deep blue-green textiles.

Warm light can make it look more olive and earthy, while cool daylight usually makes the green direction easier to notice.

LRV of Serene Breeze
Serene Breeze has an LRV of 68.55% 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 68.55%, 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.
