From refined living rooms to dramatic entryways, the 2026 palette invites creativity in pairing, contrast, and continuity. Below are some design tips to help bring these colors to life.

• Accent Walls That Speak Volumes — Use Silhouette for a commanding focal wall, then soften with surrounding lighter tones.
  
• Trim, Doors & Millwork — Create contrast with crisp whites and natural wood.
  
• Layered Neutrals + Color Pops — Pair muted greens, dusty blushes, and warm tans with the deeper tone as an anchor.
  
• Kitchens, Baths & Built-ins — Dark cabinetry in Silhouette against lighter countertops and backsplashes lends timeless drama.

Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year and Trends palette are more than style statements — they reflect evolving color psychology, consumer tastes, and design movements. The warmth and depth of Silhouette, contrast with delicate accents, and emphasis on layered harmony responds to the growing desire for spaces that feel grounded yet sophisticated.
