Colors of the Year 2025

Zachary Wheeler • January 21, 2025

 Mocha, Cinnamon, Ruby, Green and more!


 

The main company I use in my business for paint is, Benjamin Moore. I have used them for years and love all their colors, stains, and products. From the whitest white to blackest black, they carry over 3000 colors for all your color needs! Beyond Benjamin Moore, we will touch on other company’s colors of the year. I love POPS of colors in design. Grays and Blues are still my go-to standards, but adding in a pop of color can make your space fun!


Benjamin Moore Color of the Year is: Cinnamon Slate 

They describe this as a mix of heather plum and velvety brown. It is a lovely purple-y hue that would look great in a kitchen, foyer, or primary bedroom. 


Along with the Color of the Year, they also coordinate a color palette with that. These are colors that will complement each other and can be used together in rooms, like accents, doors, trim, etc. When I accent color, I do not mean an accent wall, just to clarify. 

These colors include: Rosepine-green/sage, Paris Rain-mint/light green, Sea Salt-neutral grey/white, Glacier White-white hue, Stained Glass-Teal/green, Leather Saddle Brown-burgundy/brown, Chowning’s Tan-Tan/camel, Tissue Pink-Blush pink, & Ashwood Moss-mossy green. 

 

Moving on to the other Colors of the Year. Here are my other favorites.


Pantone- Mocha Moose

A warm rich brown that would be perfect for a big open family room, or in a walk-in closet.


HGTV Home for Sherwin Williams- Quietude 

A neutral green with gray and blue undertones. This would look great on kitchen cabinets or a comfortable sunroom!


Behr- Rumors

This is a deep ruby red with a bold warmth and would look wonderful in a moody library, home office, or a dining room.

 

If you are looking to update paint in any of your spaces, all these colors would look great. Again, I work with Benjamin Moore, and they have plenty to choose from. I do color consultations often and work those colors into a full design. Get your 2025 started off right, and let’s get to work!
