Benjamin Moore

Fantasy Blue

716

Fantasy Blue is a light blue with clear gray undertones that temper its blue base. It has an LRV of 63.33, placing it in the upper-mid reflectance range where it reads as a distinct color rather than a near-white. The gray component keeps the blue grounded and prevents it from appearing overly saturated.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Gray Owl in lighter schemes. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide strong value contrast, while Palladian Blue and Sea Foam offer analogous blue pairings.

Fantasy Blue in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
