Benjamin Moore

Prom Dress

1273

Prom Dress from Benjamin Moore is a saturated fuchsia-pink with a Light Reflectance Value of 21.23, placing it in the deeper range of the spectrum. Its warm red-pink base carries slight blue undertones that push it toward true fuchsia rather than coral. Due to its intensity, it functions best as an accent in powder rooms, dressing areas, or creative studios where a bold focal point is appropriate.

Pairing it with Benjamin Moore's White Dove or Simply White tempers its vibrancy, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal create high-contrast combinations, and Raspberry Blush extends the warm tonal range.
