Hot, spicy, seductive, and cozy are all attributes you can use to describe Benjamin Moore’s 2018 Color of The Year! An alluring shade of red that is sure to energize your home. Introducing: Caliente!

Benjamin Moore's 2018 Color of The Year: Caliente

Ellen O’Neill, director of strategic design intelligence at Benjamin Moore, describes this hot hue:

“Caliente is the signature color of a modern architectural masterpiece; a lush carpet rolled out for a grand arrival; the assured backdrop for a book-lined library; a powerful first impression on a glossy front door. The eye can’t help but follow its bold strokes. Harness the vitality.”

Luxurious like a velvety tapestry found in the finest castles, Caliente lifts your dining room’s appeal. Sit down to elegant dinners with this lustrous backdrop. Light furniture and shiny metal textures pair extremely well with Caliente.

Caliente provides a luxurious dining experience.

This year’s color is making that red accent wall that you’ve always wanted but were always afraid of a possibility. We’re loving these accent walls in Caliente.

Caliente packs a punch of luxurious vibrancy that adds sophistication and a dash of motivation to this home office:
