Earlier this month, Benjamin Moore announced its 2026 Color of the Year as Silhouette AF-655, an elegant shade that weaves rich espresso hues with notes of charcoal. To help homeowners incorporate this color into their homes, Benjamin Moore curated a cohesive color palette that complements Silhouette. The collection includes eight hues of pales and midtones that can be layered for a cohesive look in any space. Here are all of the colors featured in Benjamin Moore's 2026 color palette.

Raindance is a stunning blue-green hue that looks beautiful in a bathroom or bedroom. "It has just the right level of mutedness, with gray notes that make it fresh, but very usable," says Andrea Magno, director or color marketing and design at Benjamin Moore. She suggests using it with natural materials such as sisal or linen, or pairing it with colors that have a lot of contrast.

Like a cup of coffee with lots of milk, Swiss Coffee is an off-white color with a hint of warmth. "Swiss Coffee is one of our tried-and-true, can’t-go-wrong, colors," Magno says. "It’s definitely among our top-sellers list, and with good reason." This timeless neutral is great for walls and trim, offering the right amount of creaminess without feeling cool and austere.

This subtle blush color works in any room. "First Crush is almost like an off-white with a little hint of blush to it," Magno explains. "It’s a really pretty, very feminine color that doesn't go too sweet, but has that warmth and glow to it. We really love it with different off-whites, neutrals, and even with higher contrast colors, like Silhouette."

Narragansett Green is a stately, blackened teal that Magno says evokes a sense of history and architecture. She suggests using it for color drenching, such as in a bathroom, to make the shade feel fresh and of the moment.

A staple neutral with notes of earthy brown, Sherwood Tan pairs well with the other colors in the palette, Magno says. "You can have a layered, neutral story or you can have more contrast, such as pairing it with Narragansett Green or Silhouette."

Evoking the brown and red tones of kiln-fired clay, Southwest Pottery is a nice step away from terracotta, Magno explains. It has a little more red in it, which adds energy to the overall palette, she says, adding: "I really love the sun-baked feel of it."

A mix of violet and rose, Batik creates a surprisingly versatile dusty hue. Magno suggests using it on the walls of a stairway as an unexpected pop of color in a transitional space.

Silhouette AF-655

A rich espresso hue with subtle notes of charcoal, Silhouette was inspired by a modern take on classical suiting. Magno says it embodies the qualities of timeless fashion pieces 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," she says.
