Introducing the 2022 Benjamin Moore Color of the Year

Every year the team at Benjamin Moore pours over 3,500 paint samples to select one color that somehow captures the moment’s mood — the Color of the Year. 2022 is no different. However, the process to choose the color was. Restricted travel and lockdown made the Benjamin Moore team scrappy, hunker down and search inward. What resulted was a determination that “People are looking for a means of self-expression. There’s this craving for individuality,” according to Andrea Magno, director of color marketing and development for Benjamin Moore.

Make room for October Mist 1495, the Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2022. October Mist is a soft and approachable sage green that is subtle enough to pair but strong on its own. Timeless and fresh in the moment, organic and grounded.

A Botanical palette was the start of the inspiration to explore colors. October mist is the stem of the flower. The remaining fourteen color selections that support October Mist are just as important. They all work well together. With its endless number of invigorating combinations, this palette provides effortless harmony for any paint project and design style.

In addition to botanical hues, the palette includes luminous pales and refreshed primaries,

“Each year, we invite homeowners to use the Color Trends palette as a point of inspiration to bring color into the home in new ways,” says Magno.
