by Hoover Paint

Color impacts how a room feels in terms of mood, size, and comfort. Some shades are cozy, some increase focus, while others radiate cheerfulness and energy. As for other colors, they can encapsulate an entire year, and top paint brands take on this task annually. The Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2026 is Silhouette AF-655, creating a poetic luxury wherever you use it inside or outside your home.

At Hoover Paint, our team can help make any project a masterpiece with the Silhouette AF-655 paint color and its accompanying Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 Palette.

Introducing the Stunning Benjamin Moore Silhouette AF-655

Benjamin Moore Silhouette AF-655 is a traditional, rich espresso shade with hints of charcoal and burnt umber. It has the sophisticated, somewhat romantic imagery of a finely tailored suit, the inspiration behind the choice.

The dark color absorbs most light to create a moody atmosphere, which can be the backdrop for an atmospheric dining room or a bold focal point on your kitchen cabinets. The Silhouette AF-655 paint color is best in spaces with ample natural light, or the room might feel too dark. However, using it to color-drench an entire room cultivates a cozy aesthetic when you balance it with the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 Palette.

Here are a few other ways to use the Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2026:

  • Accent walls.
  • Wall and window trims.
  • Front doors.
  • Outdoor shutters.
  • Home offices.

Pairing the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 Palette

The Silhouette AF-655 paint color is even better when it’s paired with the rest of the Benjamin Moore Color Trends 2026 Palette. Each color can stand alone, but together they create a palette that’s grounding, rich, and quietly romantic.

Here are the seven additional shades in the palette:

  • Raindance 1572: A steely green that feels calming and steadying.
  • First Crush CSP-310: A warm neutral, an enchanting barely-there blush that’s quietly uplifting.
