Silhouette AF-655

Benjamin Moore is casting a light on an everlasting hue with the announcement of its Colour of the Year for 2026: Silhouette (AF-655). The rich espresso, softened by notes of charcoal, emulates the warmth, sophistication, and timelessness of a custom-tailored suit—and it’s poised to satisfy neutral paint colour enthusiasts and critics alike. With its warm undertones, it pairs beautifully with soft shades like Batik AF-610 and Sherwood Tan 1054, but also functions as a moody neutral.

In selecting Silhouette, the Benjamin Moore team also focused on the correlation between fashion and interiors. The colour reflects the return of suiting with classic lines. The modern-day looks are refined, but they maintain comfort for long periods of wear. The choice was also inspired by the details that go into making a custom suit, from the stitching to the colour of the jacket lining, and how that layering translates to designing a room.
 
Since Silhouette is a neutral with depth, there’s no limit to how it can be used at home. When used on the walls and ceiling of a living room, the shade can make neutral furnishings stand out. As a front door colour, the colour kindles a warm welcome; in a colour-drenched dining room or home theatre, the hue provides a sophisticated, cozy atmosphere.
