Benjamin Moore has revealed Silhouette AF-655 as its Color of the Year 2026.
The color is a mix of rich espresso hues with subtle notes of charcoal, inspired by a contemporary 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,” says Andrea Magno, director of color marketing and 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 hues that comprise the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 palette. With a focus on craftsmanship and refinement, the Color Trends 2026 palette reflects a balance of soft pales and midtones:
• Silhouette AF-655
• Raindance 1572
• Swiss Coffee OC-45
• First Crush CSP-310
• Batik AF-610
• Narragansett Green HC-157
• Southwest Pottery 048
• Sherwood Tan 1054
ICYMI: Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year 2025 was Cinnamon Slate 2113-40.
