Savor the Serene Beauty of Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year

You probably know Benjamin Moore as your trusted source for interior and exterior painting products. However, the brand also has experience in the area of trend setting, in that each year they choose a distinctive color that reflects society’s feelings and emotions at that particular point in time. For 2026, Benjamin Moore selected Silhouette AF-655, a chocolatey burnt umber shade with notes of purple and charcoal, as its Color of the Year. Read on to learn more about this selection and discover how Latest Bedding can help you incorporate the hue of the moment into your home decor.


A Soothing Shade for Tumultuous Times


Moody and dramatic yet delightfully soothing, Silhouette AF-655 has a stealth wealth quality that makes it an ideal choice for any room in the home. Neutral enough to meld seamlessly with your current decor, the warm shade is anything but ordinary thanks to purple undertones. So you never have to worry about boring your guests. However, because there are also hints of gray and brown, the color has a grounded quality that’s sure to make you feel at peace in your home. 


Similar to last year’s choice, Cinnamon Slate, Silhouette AF-655 has a look that stylists have compared to a tailored suit. A warm espresso shade with charcoal notes, the color is designed to provide coziness and calm – something we could all use more of these days. Those familiar with the Benjamin Moore product offerings may compare it to paint shades like Midsummer Night, Iron Mountain, and Topeka Taupe, all of which look as lovely in a living room as they do a dining room, bedroom, or other space.


It’s worth noting that decorating with Silhouette AF-655 should be simple and natural. In fact, the color pairs beautifully with a host of beloved Benjamin Moore neutrals, such as Fossil, Pashmina, and Swiss Coffee. Looking for a bolder complement? We love how this of-the-moment shade looks with warm pinkish reds like Southwest Pottery and deep forest shades like Narragansett Green. 


Regardless of what shades you pick, the goal is to create a home that reflects everything that makes you unique. Your space should be a sanctuary from the world outside and a place you long to return to at the end of the day.
