Benjamin Moore has announced its Color of the Year 2025: Cinnamon Slate 2113-40, a warm and nuanced hue that balances heathered plum with velvety brown. This sophisticated color was chosen in response to an increasing need for comfort, balance, and subtlety in design, where soft, saturated colors set a reassuring and approachable tone in any space. 

“Cinnamon Slate is an inviting hue that offers enduring style and modern sensibility,” says Andrea Magno, director of color marketing and design at Benjamin Moore. The color fits naturally into a variety of settings, making it versatile for both traditional and modern interiors. While its plum and brown undertones give it a calming depth, Cinnamon Slate also pairs beautifully with neutrals, textured materials, and earthy tones, providing an elegant backdrop or a defining accent depending on its application. 

Accompanying Cinnamon Slate in Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2025 palette are nine additional hues, including Sea Salt CSP-95, Stained Glass CSP-685, and Ashwood Moss 1484. Each color chosen for its quietly colorful quality, allowing it to transition smoothly from room to room while maintaining a harmonious flow. Together, they showcase a range of neutrals to moodier tones that add depth and personality without overpowering. 

This year’s choice and the accompanying shades reflect a shift toward more complex, layered colors that respond to a collective desire for spaces that feel personal, grounded, and enduring. Ideal for residential and commercial spaces alike, Cinnamon Slate offers an updated way to bring both warmth and subtle sophistication into any design.
