Benjamin Moore

Fanfare

874

Fanfare is an ultra-light blue with neutral, slightly cool undertones and a gray-leaning base. It has an LRV of 77.77, reflecting a high amount of light and reading nearly as a tinted white in many lighting conditions. The cool cast is subtle enough that the color stays neutral across warm and cool light sources.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Gray Owl for a quiet neutral palette. Newburyport Blue or Hale Navy can be used alongside it for stronger contrast and added depth.
