MONTVALE, NJ – Paint company Benjamin Moore has chosen Silhouette AF-655, a mix of rich espresso hues with subtle notes of
charcoal, as its Color of the Year for 2026.
“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 six hues of the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 palette whose colors are curated based on their presence and ability to layer effortlessly. It balances “enchanting pales and handsome midtones”:
- Raindance 1572
- Swiss Coffee OC-45
- First Crush CSP-310
- Batik AF-610
- Narragansett Green HC-157
- Southwest Pottery 048
