Benjamin Moore

Fading Twilight

1258 / HC-66

Fading Twilight is a muted, medium-dark red with balanced undertones that prevent it from leaning too warm or too cool. It registers an LRV of 14.34, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deep, saturated tone in most lighting conditions. The balanced base keeps the red grounded rather than bright or fiery.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for strong light-dark contrast, or with Hale Navy for a deep complementary scheme. Revere Pewter and Gray Owl work as neutral transitions alongside this red.

Fading Twilight in Different Light
