Breath of Fresh Air is a barely-there soft blue. Very clean and cool that works well with clean whites. I also think pairing with navy would be an excellent color combination. It is part of Benjamin Moore’s "new" neutral palette, in which the company brings together 23 neutral colors that work in harmony when connecting rooms with color or in enhancing a room's décor and accessories.Pantone’s Placid Blue:placid-blue-pantone

Another soft pastel, the color of the sky, this hue of blue brings a sense of openness and peacefulness to any room. Pantone’s 2014 color palette is a “colorful twist on traditional Spring shades", including Radiant Orchid, Violet Tulip and Hemlock, which is a summery ornamental green.Valspar’s Winter in Paris: valspar
