The choice was "Breath of Fresh Air" (#806) which is a very appealing pastel blue color.

Why is it such a great color? "Breath of Fresh Air" is a soft and calming, but not shy, blue. It is described by Benjamin Moore as a "very liveable" color.
Where would be a great place to use this color? While the obvious places might be in a beach cottage (such as the one pictured above) or a nursery, I like to imagine this color on the ceiling for a more lofty feeling, or perhaps even in a mudroom as a welcoming and youthful expression.
What other colors would go with it? Other pastel colors such as a soft yellow would be pretty. In addition a lime green, as an accent, would work beautifully too. However if you want to exude simplicity, as the name and color suggest, a creamy white would work best.
Though I personally haven't had the opportunity to use this color (at least not yet!) I think what appeals to me is, that no matter what the season, it's always nice to get a breath of fresh air! Don't you agree?
Enjoy the weekend!
