Each year, Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year reflects the evolving mood of design — a look forward, grounded in timeless style. For 2026, that color is Silhouette AF-655, a hue that weaves a narrative of refined style and grace.
Silhouette is a study in balance — rich yet restrained, moody yet inviting. Its blend of espresso and charcoal tones brings warmth to the dark spectrum, creating a foundation that feels elegant and enduring. On walls, Silhouette can anchor a living room or dining area, pairing beautifully with light furnishings and metallic accents to create a sophisticated, layered space.
Benjamin Moore’s 2026 Color Trends Palette continues this story of sophistication through a layered mix of pales and midtones. Each hue complements Silhouette while standing beautifully on its own.
To bring the palette to life, use Silhouette as a focal wall color in a bedroom or living room, pairing it with Swiss Coffee trim for a soft, complementary contrast. This combination creates a sophisticated, layered space that feels warm and inviting. First Crush can be introduced on cabinetry or millwork, paired with Sherwood Tan accents, creating a subtle warmth and layered depth that demonstrates the palette’s versatility throughout a home.
Together, these colors form a palette that’s both classic and contemporary — a celebration of depth, texture, and thoughtful contrast.
With Silhouette AF-655 at its heart, the 2026 palette invites a return to balance: warmth without weight, softness with structure, elegance that feels effortless. It’s a reminder that true sophistication isn’t loud — it’s lived-in, layered, and deeply personal.
Farrow & Ball has unveiled an inspiring new palette, featuring nine brand-new shades and three classic colors from the archive. Whether you're refreshing a historic home or designing a modern retreat, these carefully crafted hues bring elegance and character to any space.
