Benjamin Moore’s Colour of the Year 2026 is Silhouette AF-655, an alluring mix of burnt umber and espresso tones 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 is not new, but for 2026 Trends, the craftsmanship of fashion, tailoring and the attention to detail drew our attention as it echoes the art of dressing a room. The renewed interest in suiting and classical silhouettes mirrors the resurgence of timeless pieces for the home. Along with fashion inspiration we have been tracking the growing appetite for warmer hues overall and brown has really become a sought-after alternate to black and grays in both fashion and home.

For 2026, we see an emphasis on the details of design and the artful blending of styles and aesthetics. Forward looking interiors are adopting more traditional, classic elements of design which reflects a micro-trend fatigue. As more of us seek personal, authentic styles, we are opting for pieces and colour stories with staying power, more timeless.
Benjamin Moore’s Colour Trends 2026 palette features an edited approach to colour with only 8 hues, including Colour of the Year Silhouette. The palette is artfully curated based on each colours incomparable presence and ability to layer effortlessly for a sophisticated feel. With a focus on attention to detail, craftsmanship, and refinement, the Colour Trends 2026 palette reflects a graceful balance of enchanting pales and handsome midtones.

The beauty of the full palette is its versatility—it can flow effortlessly throughout a home, from walls and ceilings to trim, details and furnishings. When reimagining a room – or an entire home – I always encourage people to consider every surface and every material as a colour, not just the walls. Every item is infused with a hue, and a thoughtfully chosen palette, like the Colour Trends 2026 palette, can be the thread that ties these elements together, infusing both personality and harmony into every space.
