Benjamin Moore Color of the Year for 2022

Make room for creativity. Evoking the silver-green stem of a flower,October Mist creates a canvas for other colors, and your imagination, to blossom.

There are many colors you might think of to add some "calm" to a space. Many think of sights, smells and feel of being in nature, where lush greens and swaying foliage soothe the spirit and capture the mind. October Mist is one of those colors that give a similar feel to inside spaces. With its smooth texture, and gentle, soft color, it blends well with accents, room decor and textures. Whether you are rethinking your work-from-home office space, making your bedroom more relaxing, or moving to a sophisticated but easy-to-sink-into living room look, October Mist is the ticket.
October Mist 1495 1495: A botanical hue that wraps in reassurance. The color of the year is a great choice for rounding out a room, smoothing out brighter or bolder colors, or just for slowing things down but still being noticed.
Gloucester Sage HC-100: An adaptable dark hue that can conjure rain-soaked moss to elegant wrought iron. A beautiful bold accent color that blends perfectly with our color of the year but doesn't stray to far from the outdoors.
