Paint colors get a lot of attention in the interior-design world. It's one of the easiest ways to make a dramatic change in any room. It’s no wonder, then, that Benjamin Moore’s annual Color of the Year announcement—along with the corresponding palette of trending hues itself, is always hotly anticipated.
This year is no different: For 2025, the brand crowned Cinnamon Slate 2113-40, a heathered plum and velvety brown, for the top honor, supported by nine other soothing colors with rich undertones. “They feel very grounded in the past,” says Atlanta-based interior designer Jessica Davis. “A lot of historical colors are made from natural pigments, and this whole palette has that vibe.”
These muted, approachable colors act as the perfect gateway shades for those ready to embrace color without straying too far from safe neutrals. “Color gives a space life and personality,” says Davis. “When I see an interior that uses color, especially in an interesting and unusual way, the space is way more charismatic.”
