Historical Colour Collection

Rooted in history, iconic today.

Our Historical Collection is comprised of time-honoured colours, inspired by the rich architectural tradition of the 18th and 19th centuries.

The 191 heritage colours in this collection are sophisticated and understated and have been enduring favourites in the Benjamin Moore palette for decades.
