Benjamin Moore revealed its 2017 Color of the Year, Shadow, during a celebration at the New York Public Library’s newly unveiled Jeane H. Gottesman Exhibition Hall last week. The color is described as “a rich, royal amethyst.”

“Allusive and enigmatic, Shadow is a master of ambiance. It is a color that calls to mind a ‘past,’ yet it can also make a contemporary, color-confident statement,” says Ellen O’Neill, Benjamin Moore’s creative director. “Shadow is sophisticated, provocative and poetic; it can bring energy to a space or harmony and a moment of respite.”
