Series Name: 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, highlighting standout shades from the Benjamin Moore Colour Trends 2026 palette. Each month, we explore one featured colour—how it works in real homes, what to pair it with, and similar shades worth sampling.

This month’s spotlight is Sherwood Tan 1054, a warm, earthy neutral that brings balance and approachability to the 2026 palette. Where deeper tones like Silhouette ground a space, Sherwood Tan offers warmth, softness, and versatility—making it an ideal foundation colour for a wide range of interiors.

Meet Sherwood Tan 1054

Sherwood Tan 1054 is a classic mid-tone neutral with warm beige and subtle brown undertones. It strikes an easy balance between light and depth, making it a reliable choice for homeowners who want a colour that feels welcoming without leaning too yellow or too gray.

Timeless and adaptable, Sherwood Tan works beautifully across design styles—from traditional and farmhouse to transitional and modern—especially in spaces where comfort and cohesion are key.

Best uses for Sherwood Tan 1054 include:

• • Living rooms and family rooms

  • Bedrooms and hallways

  • Open-concept main floors

  • Kitchens and dining areas

  • Whole-home colour palettes

Its warmth makes it especially effective in rooms with limited natural light, helping spaces feel brighter and more inviting.

Why Sherwood Tan Belongs in the 2026 Colour Trends Palette

As part of the Benjamin Moore Colour Trends 2026 palette, Sherwood Tan reflects a continued shift toward comforting, livable neutrals that support long-term design choices. Homeowners are gravitating toward colours that feel grounded and familiar, while still offering enough depth to feel intentional.

Sherwood Tan complements the deeper, moodier shades in the 2026 palette by providing balance and warmth. It’s a colour that works quietly in the background—allowing architectural details, furnishings, and personal style to take center stage.
