Benjamin Moore

Fancy Pants

CSP-525

Fancy Pants is a bluish purple with cool undertones and moderate depth. Its LRV of 14.59 places it in the low-reflectance range, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, saturated tone. The blue bias in its purple base gives it a cooler appearance than a red-leaning violet.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Blueberry Hill and Violet Mist for an analogous cool scheme. Concord Ivory or Natural Linen provide warm-toned contrast, and Hale Navy adds depth in a tonal grouping.
