Where Fancy Pants belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Fresh Take is a Cloverdale Paint color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (15 vs 13), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
