Overview

• Benjamin Moore describes Silhouette as a deep espresso with a charcoal note that evokes the polish of a perfectly tailored suit.
• Silhouette anchors the Color Trends 2026 palette of eight hues that balances airy lights and deeper tones, including Raindance, Narragansett Green, Southwest Pottery, Sherwood Tan, Batik, First Crush, and Swiss Coffee.
• The company advises using Silhouette to add depth and balance, pairing it with rich navy tones or bold metallics to ground a room.
• The six‑member color team spent months researching across museums and lectures, distilling observations into the final selection and companion palette.
• The choice aligns with a broader return to warm browns across fashion and interiors, with Pantone’s 2025 Mocha Mousse and the enduring appeal of Swiss Coffee underscoring the trend.
