We are excited to unveil the Benjamin Moore Colour of the Year 2027, Webster Green HC-130 - a confident hue with undeniable personality, this quintessential green exemplifies enduring relevance and classic appeal through the ebb and flow of trend cycles.

Homes are becoming more curated and personalised, celebrating the places we’ve been, the things we love and the memories we’ve gathered along the way. As a backdrop to this, paint and colour have never been more important, with this shift placing greater emphasis on colour families that have stood the test of time.

Webster Green HC-130 is a quintessential green, with a crisp finish that exemplifies this enduring relevance and classic appeal that endures the ebb and flow of trend cycles. From its presence in archival hand-drawn renderings to forward thinking points of inspiration it is both timeless and timely. It nods to the palettes that have shaped interior design over the decades, while connecting with the contemporary desire for trusted hues that create grounded yet distinctive spaces.

“For 2027, our focus centred on the green colour family. When we looked across the past, present and future of colour trends, variations on green consistently demonstrated remarkable staying power,”

Andrea Magno, Vice President of Brand, Colour, and Integrated Marketing at Benjamin Moore.

Green has always been a central part of the colour conversation, adapting to reflect the design movements and cultural mood of each era. The Arts & Crafts Movement of the early 1900s embraced nature-inspired greens, while emerald and teal came into their own in the 1920s and 30s, complementing the opulence and drama of Art Deco.

The feel-good aesthetic of the 1950s brought softer mint greens into the home, followed by mossy shades in the 1960s, which worked naturally alongside the organic curves of Mid-Century Modern design. In the 1970s, olive became a defining shade, while the 1980s saw a shift towards pastels and brights, with seafoam green gaining popularity. By the 1990s and early 2000s, a renewed appreciation for natural materials and organic design brought earthy greens and sage tones to the forefront. Across each era, green has demonstrated an ability to evolve - adapting to the undercurrents of the zeitgeist while remaining a timeless constant in the home.

“Webster Green HC-130 reflects this timeless appeal by pairing reassuring stability with optimistic energy. Its composed nature feels both rooted and forward-looking, while enhancing spaces that feel distinctive, collected and continually new.”
