Benjamin Moore Century
A soft-touch, ultra-matte designer finish in 75 curated colors — the statement wall paint.
Century isn't a wall paint in the usual sense. It's a soft, suede-like, virtually no-sheen finish designed for one wall, one door, one built-in — the moment in a room you want people to notice.
It comes in its own curated palette of 75 colors developed around depth and pigment richness, not the standard fan deck. The finish absorbs light instead of bouncing it, which is what gives it that velvet look.
Our Hessler Interiors design team uses Century on accent walls, powder rooms, libraries, and cabinetry where the finish is part of the design.
The most expensive interior product Benjamin Moore makes, priced as a designer finish rather than a whole-house paint.

Questions
Benjamin Moore Century — common questions
What people actually ask us at the counter.
Can Century be tinted to any Benjamin Moore color?
No — Century is only available in its own palette of 75 colors. That's deliberate: the formula is built around those specific pigments.
Is Century washable?
Gently. It's a designer finish, not a hallway paint. For high-traffic walls use Scuff-X or Aura and save Century for the feature wall.
Do you stock Century in Delray Beach?
We carry it and can order any of the 75 colors quickly. Come see the Century deck in person — photos don't show the finish.
Can I use Century on cabinets or doors?
On doors and built-ins, yes, and it looks remarkable. For hard-use kitchen cabinets we'd steer you to ADVANCE.
