Ready to create something beautiful in your home?
Andriots invites you to explore the Benjamin Moore 2022 Color Trends Palette, including the celebrated Color of the Year – October Mist.
Each year, Benjamin Moore’s color and design experts gather inspiration from the United States and abroad to select their Color of the Year and the corresponding Color Trends palette.
The Benjamin Moore team notes developments in a variety of disciplines – fashion, furnishings, lighting, home accessories, visual art, and architecture – as well as themes in nature, entertainment, and contemporary global cultures.
From Benjamin Moore’s library of more than 3,500 colors, the designers then curate a Color Trends palette that balances modern-day relevance with a long-lasting appeal.
Designers immediately embraced the versatility of October Mist, as seen in these articles from Elle Décor, House Beautiful, and Architectural Digest. This gentle green shade is a classic, harmonious, choice for any setting and any season.
Benjamin Moore started his paint company in 1883. Today, the company remains committed to his original mission, inspiring and transforming our homes, communities, and lives – one brushstroke at a time.
Favored by designers and professional painters, Benjamin Moore paints are formulated to deliver superior performance and beautiful lasting results. Benjamin Moore offers an incomparable selection of authentic colors and manufactures their own resins and proprietary Gennex colorants.

The 2022 Color Trends Palette consists of 14 hues.
The collection colors coordinate well with each other, in a variety of interior and exterior settings, opening new creative avenues for homeowners and designers alike.
Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore’s Director of Color Marketing & Development, sums up the process this way: “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.”

- This dusty horticultural hue relates to feelings of restoration, relaxation, peace, and growth.
- Use it in any room that transitions between interior and exterior spaces.
- Use it in a bedroom or bathroom for a balanced and restorative vibe.
