Color of the Year 2025 —
Cinnamon Slate 2113-40

For its 2025 color of the year, Benjamin Moore selected a hue that can’t quite be defined: Cinnamon Slate (2113-40). The nuanced, purple-brown blend has a soothing quality that’ll evoke comfort year-round. It’s the perfect balance between heathered plum and a velvety brown.

The shade is perfect for color drenching a living room or for use in smaller doses, where it could bring sophistication and coziness to a mudroom, office or bedroom. Pair it with neutrals and textured materials like fluffy throws, soft pillows and wool rugs for all-encompassing ease.

Thoughtfully curated based on their quietly colorful nature, the 10 hues in the 2025 palette balance accents of vibrancy mingled with notes of subtlety. Ranging from neutrals to moodier tones across the color spectrum, the palette celebrates the uniqueness of each hue while all work together in color harmony.

The nine other “hushed hues” that comprise Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color Trends Palette hint at some of Cinnamon Slate’s underlying enigmatic qualities while remaining versatile enough to allow for self-expression. Despite its name, Glacier White offers an inviting warmth that helps it stand out from a crowded field, while fellow neutrals Paris Rain, Sea Salt and Tissue Pink alternately mix in gray, beige and even wisps of rose.

Leather Saddle Brown and Chowning’s Tan take Cinnamon Slate’s hint of brown a bit further without losing its sense of balance and timelessness. Stained Glass pumps up the blue undertones while Ashwood Moss and Rosepine keep nature-tinted greens in the conversation as we head into 2025.
