Webster Green HC-130: Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2027

Each year, Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year captures where design is headed next. For 2027, that color is Webster Green HC-130, a confident mid-tone green that Benjamin Moore calls "the quintessential shade of green."

It follows last year's moody, espresso-toned Silhouette AF-655, and it signals a shift toward color that feels steady, welcoming, and built to last.

Why Green, and Why Now?

Green has always had a place in interior design. It bends with the times, showing up as sage one decade and forest the next, but it never truly disappears. When Benjamin Moore's color team narrowed down their options for 2027, green kept coming back to the table.

Rather than choose a green that looks back with nostalgia, they wanted one that feels fresh for how we live today. As homeowners lean toward stability, calm, and colors with a timeless quality, Webster Green rose above the rest. Benjamin Moore's Andrea Magno describes it as sitting at the center point of the green family, a mid-tone that nods to the past while feeling entirely relevant now.

A Classic Green with Modern Confidence

Webster Green is a true balance of blue and yellow. The blue gives it composure and depth, while the yellow adds warmth and a little lift. The result is a green with real personality that still knows how to behave.

It's part of Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection, so it carries that sense of heritage we love, yet it layers easily into farmhouse, traditional, transitional, and modern spaces alike.

How to Use Webster Green HC-130 at Home

Front doors and exteriors. Webster Green makes a warm, memorable welcome. On a front door, it instantly boosts curb appeal and plays beautifully off red brick, natural wood, and the greenery around your home. Benjamin Moore shows it on a door and trim in Aura Exterior Paint in a Soft Gloss finish.

Built-ins, trim, and architectural details. Use Webster Green to highlight bookshelves, paneling, wainscoting, or a fireplace surround. Paired as a trim color against a soft neutral like White Down OC-131, it adds character without overwhelming a room.

Entryways and mudrooms. First impressions matter. A Webster Green wall, staircase, or set of doors gives an entry a signature look, and its mid-tone depth is forgiving in busy, high-traffic spaces.

Color-drenched rooms. For a bolder look, take Webster Green across walls, trim, and ceiling. Using one color in different sheens, such as Satin on walls and Semi-Gloss on trim, creates a cozy, enveloping space that still feels modern. It's a beautiful choice for a library, den, or bedroom.
