Cinnamon Slate has just been announced as Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color of the Year. This purple-brown blend has a restorative quality that’ll evoke comfort year-round and it’s especially alluring for a fall home refresh. The color is a wonderful balance between heathered plum and velvety brown, and it can bring a sense of serenity into any space.
Sharon Grech, a color and design spokesperson for Benjamin Moore has stated that this color has a similar confidence as previous Colors of the Year such as Blue Nova and Raspberry Blush in 2024 and 2023 respectively – but it’s far more understated. The director of color marketing and design, Andrea Mango, recommends color-drenching a living room with Cinnamon Slate but it can also be used in a mudroom, elevated office, or a serene bedroom. It can easily be paired with neutrals and textured materials such as throws, pillows, and rugs. In addition to the Color of the Year, Benjamin Moore has also announced its color trends palette for 2025 with 10 total colors including Cinnamon Slate so that all the colors can work harmoniously together in a home.
Cinnamon Slate and the other 9 colors announced in the color trends palette of the year radiate a soothing energy. According to Mango, “Complexity doesn’t have to be a scary thing. It’s what makes these colors special.” Read more here >
