What color is Benjamin Moore Wind's Breath?
Benjamin Moore Wind's Breath OC-24 is a pale, muted beige-gray with a soft warmth that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low-saturation character gives walls a quiet, lightly weathered look, especially in rooms with natural wood, linen, or stone. In bright daylight, this shade can appear closer to a gentle off-white, while lower light brings out its subtle beige cast. It suits bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a light neutral is needed without the sharpness of pure white. Pair Wind's Breath with warm oak, creamy textiles, brushed brass, charcoal accents, or deeper taupe details for contrast.

LRV of Wind's Breath
Wind's Breath has an LRV of 69.59% 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 69.59%, 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.
