We started our 2025 Colour of the Year series with PANTONE® and in this post we will look at our next colour of the year, this one from paint producer Benjamin Moore.
Benjamin Moore has unveiled its Colour of the Year for 2025: Cinnamon Slate 2113-40. This sophisticated blend of heather plum and velvety brown introduces a "quietly colourful" hue that adds depth and warmth to any interior space.
Cinnamon Slate is a versatile shade that adapts to various lighting conditions, appearing as a rich brown in some settings and revealing plum undertones in others. This chameleon-like quality makes it suitable for a range of design aesthetics, from traditional to contemporary. (Architectural Digest, 2024)
Accent Walls: Use Cinnamon Slate to create a focal point in living rooms or bedrooms, adding a touch of elegance without overwhelming the space.
Kitchen Cabinetry: Transform your kitchen by applying this hue to cabinets, offering a modern yet timeless appeal.
Complementary Colours: Pair Cinnamon Slate with shades from Benjamin Moore's 2025 Colour Trends Palette, such as Sea Salt CSP-95 or Tissue Pink 1163, to achieve a harmonious and balanced look. (Real Simple, 2024)
Alongside Cinnamon Slate, Benjamin Moore's 2025 palette features nine additional hues designed to complement and enhance modern interiors:
Glacier White OC-37: A soft, inviting white that serves as an excellent backdrop for more saturated colours.
Paris Rain 1501: A greenish alternative to traditional grey, adding subtle sophistication.
Sea Salt CSP-95: A versatile shade that shifts with lighting, providing dynamic visual interest.
Stained Glass CSP-685: A complex blue-green that pairs well with various colours and wood tones.
Leather Saddle Brown 2100-20 and Chowning's Tan CW-195: Warm brown tones that bring a sense of comfort and stability.
Tissue Pink 1163: A flexible hue that can appear more beige or pink depending on the light, offering a gentle warmth.
Ashwood Moss 1484: A deep, saturated green that introduces a rich, comforting feel to any room. (Real Simple, 2024)
For homeowners in Windsor, Ontario, incorporating Cinnamon Slate can enhance the cozy atmosphere desired during the colder months. Its warm undertones complement the architectural styles prevalent in the area, making it a fitting choice for both historic and modern homes.
Benjamin Moore's selection of Cinnamon Slate as the Colour of the Year 2025 reflects a shift towards nuanced, comforting hues in interior design. Its versatility and depth make it an excellent choice for those looking to refresh their living spaces with a touch of understated elegance.
