Every year, the design world anticipates the moment Benjamin Moore reveals its Color of the Year—the single hue that will shape trends in homes and commercial spaces worldwide. For 2026, they've unveiled a sophisticated and grounding shade that is perfectly suited for the luxury properties of South Florida: Silhouette (AF-655).

At Atlantic Pro Painters, where Expert Craftsmanship and Premium Paints & Materials are our standard, we are excited to integrate this elegant color into your next project.

Silhouette: The Essence of Timeless Elegance

Benjamin Moore describes Silhouette (AF-655) as an "alluring mix of rich espresso hues with subtle notes of charcoal." It is a deep, warm, and highly versatile neutral that embodies the concept of "quiet luxury"—a desire for refined, enduring style over fleeting trends.

The Inspiration: This luxurious shade draws its essence from tailored suiting and classic, bespoke fashion. It represents a return to meticulous detail and high-quality materials, mirroring our own commitment to a flawless, high-end painting service.

Why Silhouette Works in Sunny South Florida

While deep colors might seem intimidating in a bright, tropical climate, Silhouette is designed to thrive:

• A Grounding Contrast: In spaces flooded with natural light—common in South Florida—Silhouette provides a dramatic, grounding contrast that makes surrounding white trim, art, and furniture truly pop.
• The Power of Light: The color's complex undertones shift beautifully with the light, moving from a smoky charcoal in shadow to a rich, warm espresso in the sun. This adds an incredible sense of dimension and sophistication to any room.
• A Retreat from the Heat: For bedrooms, dining rooms, or commercial lounges, this cozy shade offers an enveloping, comfortable atmosphere—a luxurious, cool retreat from the vibrant heat and sun outside.
