Paint and coatings manufacturer Benjamin Moore recently selected its 2025 Color of the Year, Cinnamon Slate 2113-40. Described as a mix of heathered plum and velvety brown, the color aims to bring a “soothing familiarity and balance to any design.”
“As the use of more saturated color in design has increased in recent years, we are seeing a growing interest in more nuanced colors, whose undertones add intricacy and dimension,” said Andrea Magno, Director, Color Marketing & Design at Benjamin Moore. “Cinnamon Slate is an inviting hue that offers enduring style and modern sensibility. Its depth and richness bring an air of approachability and sense of comfort throughout the home, making it a new favorite for years to come.”
The 10 hues in the company’s Color Trends 2025 palette were also curated based on their “quietly colorful nature,” with accents of vibrancy mingled with notes of subtlety.
The colors range from neutrals to moodier tones, celebrating the uniqueness of each shade while working in color harmony. In addition to Cinnamon Slate, the palette includes:
