Benjamin Moore, North America’s favorite paint, colour and coatings brand, announced today its Colour of the Year 2022 as October Mist 1495/CC-550 – a gently shaded sage that quietly anchors while encouraging creative expression through colour. Much like the green stem of a flower, October Mist creates a canvas for the Colour Trends 2022 palette – and the imagination – to blossom.

From refreshed primary colours to luminous pales and botanical hues, the Colour Trends 2022 palette invigorates the senses and gives root to personal style. The palette is harmonious yet diverse, reliable yet whimsical and meditative yet eclectic – illustrating the endless number of combinations that can be created with just 14 colours.

“As the spaces in our homes continue to evolve, we uncover more opportunities to express our individuality and leverage the power of colour to design environments that serve different functions and styles,” said Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore Director of Colour Marketing & Development. “October Mist 1495/CC-550 and the corresponding Colour Trends 2022 palette reflects an effortless harmony of colours, while inspiring unique combinations for any paint project.”
