Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year 2025 Is Here—See the Rich, Inviting Shade

Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year 2025 is here, and it's a delicate blend of heathered plum and velvety brown that can be used to balance any design. Chosen for its depth and richness, Cinnamon Slate is a welcoming shade that will add a sense of comfort throughout the home.

The inviting shade strikes the perfect balance between modern and classic design styles, making Cinnamon Slate an adaptable and approachable color for any space. "It can enhance traditional homes with a contemporary touch while also adding warmth and comfort into modern spaces," Hannah Yeo, senior manager of color marketing at Benjamin Moore, tells decorvow.com.

Its ability to feel both old and new makes Cinnamon Slate suitable for a wide range of interiors—even if you're hesitant to use such a rich color in your home. "If painting all four walls with this color feels overwhelming, consider starting small," says Yeo. "Try applying the accent color behind a bed’s headboard or use it above wainscoting for a stylish yet subtle effect. Small and enclosed powder rooms are also great ways to introduce this color."

One of the easiest ways to seamlessly bring Cinnamon Slate into your home is to pair it with another color from Benjamin Moore's 2025 Color Trends palette, which features 10 nature-inspired hues. Ranging from neutrals to moodier tones, the full palette includes the following harmonious colors:

• Cinnamon Slate 2113-40
• Sea Salt CSP-95
• Leather Saddle Brown 2100-20
• Chowning’s Tan CW-195
• Tissue Pink 1163
• Stained Glass CSP-685
• Ashwood Moss 1484
• Rosepine 461
• Paris Rain 1501
• Glacier White OC-37

The colors in the annual palette are meticulously selected based on consumer behavior and global influences and highlight emerging design trends for the upcoming year. "As we continue to see a growing sentiment of creating unique and personalized spaces balanced by a sense of ease and soothing familiarity, we find comfort in colors that are adaptable, yet distinct," says Yeo.
