Color of the Year 2026

Silhouette AF-655

Enduring Style Meets Modern Sensibility

Benjamin Moore Color of the Year for 2026 is Silhouette AF-655 – an alluring mix of rich espresso hues with subtle notes of charcoal. Balancing refinement and distinction, Silhouette AF-655 weaves a narrative of enduring style and grace, inspired by the modern take on classical suiting.

“The connection between fashion and interiors has always been a source of inspiration but this year in particular, we’ve noticed a renewed interest in suiting and classic silhouettes; the resurgence of timeless pieces; and the growing interest in the brown color family,” said Andrea Magno, director, color marketing & design at Benjamin Moore. “Silhouette embodies these qualities with its depth and luxurious blend of burnt umber and delicate charcoal undertones. Like a perfectly tailored suit, this hue has the versatility and softness to bring a space from expected to exceptional.”

Silhouette AF-655 is complemented by seven quintessential hues of the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 palette. These colors are artfully curated based on their incomparable presence and ability to layer effortlessly for a sophisticated feel. With a focus on attention to detail, craftsmanship and refinement, the Color Trends 2026 palette reflects a graceful balance of enchanting pales and handsome midtones.
