Benjamin Moore's 2025 Color of the Year Is Perfect for Autumn

Benjamin Moore has released its annual Color of the Year for 2025, and it's actually a rich, earthy tone perfect for autumn and beyond.

The color, which is expected to be all the rage in 2025, is called Cinnamon Slate, described as a "delicate mix of heathered plum and velvety brown that brings a soothing familiarity and balance to any space." It's part of Benjamin Moore's overall Color Trends 2025 palette, which includes a total of 10 nuanced colors "with undertones that add intricacy and dimension." The palette ranges from neutrals to bolder, moodier tones across the color spectrum.

And Cinnamon Slate is certainly a mood, as seen as the backdrop of a living room, set against a grey couch, floor-length grey curtains, and a delicate pink floral display.

The palette features colors carefully curated to celebrate the uniqueness of each hue while still working together in color harmony.

"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 Benjamin Moore director of color marketing and design, Andrea Magno. "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."
