Looking Back at the Colour of the Year
From our library of over 3,500 Benjamin Moore colours, we carefully curate a Colour Trends palette that balances modern-day relevance with long-lasting appeal. Taking into consideration everything from consumer behaviour to global influences in art and design, our colour and design experts work tirelessly during the colour selection process to handpick the hues you’ll see prominently during the following year.
At the centre is one special hue that defines the palette—and the moment: the Colour of the Year. Journey with us through some of our most recent choices and see how they have evolved over the years.
