Breezy's Color Strip

Breezy is the second shade on this 7-color strip, sitting between Silvermist and Aqua-Sphere. The strip spans from Silvermist at the lightest end to Labradorite at the deepest. Strip 281 makes it easy to compare shades side by side and find the right depth for your space.

Breezy in Real Rooms

Breezy has a medium-high LRV of 41.05 — present enough to register on the wall without making a room feel heavy.

Grouped in the Blue family, the photos below show it applied in a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen cabinets, front door, house and misc.

On the exterior, Breezy holds up across all lighting conditions — crisp in full sun, rich and dimensional on overcast days. It pairs especially well with white trim, black window frames, and natural stone, giving the home a timeless, curated presence.
