Benjamin Moore has revealed its Colour Trends 2026 palette, highlighting Silhouette AF-655, a deep chocolate brown, as the Colour of the Year. Described as "a distinctive colour that weaves luxurious burnt umber with delicate notes of charcoal," Silhouette exemplifies the palette's balance of rich, grounded tones and soft, ethereal hues.

The palette also includes complementary shades such as Raindance 1572, First Crush CSP-310, Swiss Coffee OC-45, Batik AF-610, Narragansett Green HC-157, Southwest Pottery 048, and Sherwood Tan 1054, enabling designers and homeowners to mix and layer colours for sophisticated interiors. Benjamin Moore emphasises that the collection invites both timeless classicism and modern layering, suitable for walls, trim, built-ins, and cabinetry across living spaces.
The launch includes practical guidance on pairing the tones in different rooms. For example, Silhouette AF-655 is recommended for walls in living spaces, while Swiss Coffee OC-45 serves as a neutral backdrop. Raindance 1572 and Narragansett Green provide bold, statement accents, and Sherwood Tan offers warm, earthy tones for interiors.
Benjamin Moore supports its palette with digital tools such as the Colour Portfolio® app, enabling users to visualise colours in their own spaces before purchasing. The brand also provides physical resources, including a downloadable Colour of the Year 2026 brochure and sample swatches for in-store testing.
The Colour Trends 2026 collection underscores Benjamin Moore's commitment to timeless design, versatility, and expert colour guidance, helping homeowners, designers, and professionals transform spaces with intentional, aesthetically harmonious palettes.
For more inspiration and tools, consumers are encouraged to explore the Colour Portfolio app, sign up for colour launch notifications, and access both digital and print resources to integrate Silhouette AF-655 and the full palette into their interior projects.
