The Benjamin Moore has been choosing colour palettes and trendy colour reports for decades. For 2026, their Colour of the Year takes is runway inspired. Silhouette AF-655 transforms the idea of a room much, like a well-cut blazer transforms a silhouette, with precision, texture, and layering.
The team behind the colour of the year was inspired by bespoke suiting, considering the intricate work to make these garments and the parallel of how the right colour and elevate a space. Silhouette AF-655 sews together deep espresso with soft charcoal undertones, creating a hue that feels grounded yet poetic, timeless yet contemporary. It’s a shade built for layering, for contrast, and for moments that demand refinement.
Silhouette AF-655 is complemented by seven hues of the Benjamin Moore Colour Trends 2026 palette. These colours were curated based on their presence and ability to layer effortlessly for a sophisticated feel.
