What Is Benjamin Moore’s 2026 Color of the Year?
Silhouette AF-655 is a dramatic and grounding color that bridges black, brown, and gray. Its rich depth makes it incredibly versatile, offering a luxe, tailored feel that works beautifully on accent walls, cabinetry, built-ins, or even exteriors. It’s bold without being overpowering—pairing just as well with neutrals as it does with more vibrant hues.
Use Silhouette to anchor a room or add dimension in transitional spaces like hallways or entryways. For those not quite ready to commit to a full room of dark color, try painting interior doors, window trims, or a single accent wall.
What Are the 2026 Color Trends from Benjamin Moore?
Silhouette leads the way in a curated palette of 2026 color trends that bring together warmth, elegance, and subtle drama. Here are a few trending colors to consider:
Pashmina AF-100 – A cozy, modern greige that pairs beautifully with Silhouette.
Blue Nova 825 – A vibrant, saturated blue that adds energy to kitchens, bathrooms, or even front doors.
White Dove OC-17 – A timeless off-white perfect for pairing with bold accent colors.
Sienna Clay 1202 – A warm, earthy terracotta that brings organic tones into any space.
Jodie’s Gray 2139-70 – A soft gray with a calming presence that complements darker tones.
The entire 2026 palette reflects a desire for spaces that feel layered, grounded, and inviting—a continued shift toward thoughtful, lived-in design.
How to Use the 2026 Color Palette in Your Home
Whether you’re refreshing one room or your entire home, the 2026 Color Trends from Benjamin Moore are meant to work in harmony. Try pairing the dark richness of Silhouette with soft neutrals like White Dove or warm shades like Sienna Clay for a balanced, modern look.
For kitchens, Blue Nova or Pashmina make excellent cabinet colors, while soft grays and warm whites can be used on walls or trim. Don’t be afraid to mix finishes—glossy Silhouette on a built-in bookshelf can contrast beautifully with matte walls in Jodie’s Gray or Pashmina.
