This cozy shade is dark, mysterious, and makes an impact.

Benjamin Moore's Colour of the Year is one one of the announcements we wait for all fall. It's one of the last paint companies to release its chosen hue for the year ahead. In 2025, it was the cozy, soft purple-brown shade Cinnamon Slate, and we're seeing a lot of greens as we look to 2026.

So, what did Benjamin Moore decide on?

The Benjamin Moore 2026 Colour Of The Year

It's all about classics and refined style with Silhouette AF-655. This warm neutral hints at espresso with notes of charcoal, pairing well with lighter shades of all hues. Silhouette looks traditional, but when used alongside the Colour Trends 2026 Palette, it looks delicate, chic, and a little sultry.
