What color is Benjamin Moore Fantasy Pink?

Benjamin Moore Fantasy Pink 1290 is a light, muted blush pink with a gentle warm cast and a soft, powdery appearance. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the subtle red-peach influence prevents it from reading as icy or lavender-based. In bright daylight, Fantasy Pink can look clean and delicate; under warmer evening bulbs, it may take on a slightly rosier, more enveloping look. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, linen, or brushed brass. For contrast, try it alongside charcoal accents, deep olive textiles, or dark brown wood.
