Benjamin Moore recently released its 2026 Color of the Year, Silhouette AF-655.
The charcoal color with espresso undertones is described as mimicking tailored suiting.
The company also revealed its 2026 Color Trends Palette, featuring muted neutral shades Raindance, First Crush, Swiss Coffee, Batik, Narragansett Green, Southwest Pottery and Sherwood Tan, complementing the grounding Silhouette shade.
“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, 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.”
