Benjamin Moore Colour Trends 2026: Colour Spotlight Series

As a trusted Benjamin Moore dealer & Sudbury's favourite paint store, Barrydowne Paint continues our Colour Spotlight Series, where we explore each shade from the Benjamin Moore Colour Trends 2026 palette — how they perform in real spaces, pairing ideas that work beautifully, and similar hues worth sampling.

Here, we’re highlighting Raindance 1572, a soft, steely green with easygoing gray undertones that feels both calming and sophisticated. It brings a balanced, natural quality to interiors without feeling cold or flat — making it a versatile choice for many design styles.

Meet Raindance 1572

Raindance 1572 occupies that sweet spot between green and gray. With subtle blue‑green depth and just enough gray influence, it creates a soothing backdrop that can feel both fresh and grounded depending on light and context.

This hue is ideal when you want a colour that quietly enhances a space without dominating it. Whether you’re updating walls, cabinetry, or even built‑ins, Raindance adds a layer of calm sophistication that works beautifully in both casual and more refined environments.

Best uses for Raindance 1572 include:

• • Living rooms and family areas

  • Dining rooms and kitchens

  • Bedrooms and bathrooms

  • Accent walls or cabinetry

  • Transitional spaces like hallways or home offices

Its balanced personality makes it a natural choice for coastal, transitional, modern, and organic interiors. It reads as both serene and intentional — a refined alternative to classic sage or gray.

Why Raindance Earns a Spotlight

Raindance stands out in the 2026 palette because it blends natural calm with subtle complexity. It has a mineral, stone‑inspired quality that feels grounded, yet its green‑leaning undertones bring a sense of freshness not always found in similar neutrals.

This combination makes it especially appealing for spaces where you want an inviting, soft atmosphere that still feels purposeful. Whether paired with warm woods, crisp whites, or deeper accent tones, Raindance adds depth and dimension while remaining remarkably easy to live with.
