Benjamin Moore 2025 Color of the Year

As we step into 2025, I’m thrilled to share Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year: Cinnamon Slate 2113-40, now available at Williams Lumber. This rich, warm hue instantly drew me in with its comforting yet sophisticated feel—exactly the kind of energy we all want to bring into our homes for the year ahead. The 2025 Color Trends Palette builds on this feeling, with a thoughtful collection of ten unique shades that work together in harmony.

One of my favorite things about living in the Hudson Valley is being surrounded by so much natural beauty and storied history. This palette feels like an extension of that—perfect for creating spaces that blend modern design with timeless charm. In this blog, I’ll take you through the colors in this year’s palette and discuss ways that you can breathe new life into your home by incorporating these colors into your space.

Rosepine 461 – A deep forest green with subtle gray undertones, adding depth and adaptability.

Paris Rain 1501 – A gentle gray infused with the faintest hint of green for a refreshing touch.

Sea Salt CSP-95 – A versatile neutral that gracefully bridges warm and cool tones.

Glacier White OC-37 – A serene off-white with creamy undertones for versatile, understated beauty.

Stained Glass CSP-685 – A mesmerizing teal reminiscent of moonlight filtering through intricate glasswork.

Leather Saddle Brown 2100-20 – A rich, inviting shade inspired by the texture and warmth of aged leather.

Chowning’s Tan CW-195 – A historic tan, crafted from 18th-century white and yellow ochre pigments, ideal for complementing classic decor.

Cinnamon Slate 2113-40 – A sophisticated blend of muted plum and soft brown, exuding timeless charm and contemporary elegance.

At Williams, we love these kinds of thoughtful touches that turn a house into a home.

The Color Selection Process

One of my favorite parts of overseeing the annual Color of the Year release at Williams Lumber is learning about the process behind choosing the perfect hue. The team of color experts at Benjamin Moore explores emerging palettes, materials, and textures to craft timeless and trend-forward shades inspired by global design, art, fashion, and cultural influences.

The attention to detail and dedication to quality are values that we live by in our own line of work at Williams, which is one of many reasons we’re proud to offer Benjamin Moore paint to our customers.

Bringing Color Trends to Your Hudson Valley Home

Adding a new hue into the mix is one of my favorite ways to make any space feel fresh and new. There’s so many ways to bring the 2025 Color Trends Palette into your home. With endless possibilities it can be challenging to narrow down what you want to tackle first, that’s why we’ve included a list of ways you can bring more colors into your home.

Accent Walls and Focal Points – You don’t have to use these colors throughout your home to get the benefit of their charm. Creating accent walls or focal points built on color can help you incorporate hues you like – reinvigorating your space without reinventing it. Bringing bits of modern color palettes into your home keeps things fresh and current without too much time or commitment.
Connecting with Nature – The Hudson Valley is known for its natural charm and beauty. The 2025 color palette is the perfect pairing to help capture that elegance without overpowering the surrounding naturescape. These hues create a harmonious balance between home and the great outdoors, creating spaces that feel both grounded and timeless.
Welcoming Kitchens – Nothing brightens up a kitchen like a fresh coat of paint and when it comes to kitchen renovation, painting can bring you the biggest bang for your buck. The right color can transform your kitchen into a warm, inviting space where family and friends naturally gather, enhancing both its style and functionality without breaking the bank.
Serene Bedrooms – You deserve a space where you can relax and unwind, where tranquility greets you as soon as you walk through the door. The Benjamin Moore 2025 Color Trends can help you do just that. With soft, calming hues that promote rest and rejuvenation, these shades transform your bedroom into a peaceful retreat, offering a sanctuary from the busyness of everyday life.
Highlighting Historic Charm – With hues that bring a modern take on classic colors, the Benjamin Moore 2025 Color Trends are made for an area like the Hudson Valley, which has historic roots and contemporary appeal. These shades seamlessly blend tradition with modern sophistication to create timeless, inspiring spaces.

Tips for Choosing and Using 2025’s Colors

Test Before You Commit: Natural light can dramatically influence how colors appear throughout the day. For example, a hue that looks soft and muted in the morning light may take on a richer tone by evening. Before committing to a color, test paint samples on multiple walls and observe them at different times of day. This ensures the color works harmoniously with your home’s lighting and surrounding environment.
Layer with Textures: I like to incorporate materials like warm wood, rustic stone, and cozy textiles to add dimension and depth to my home. Whether it’s woven rugs, linen drapes, or reclaimed wood accents, combining organic elements with the 2025 color palette will enhance the natural charm of your space.
Use Bold Colors Strategically: There’s nothing like introducing a rich color to a room to give it more energy and character, but be mindful when doing so. Consider using bold colors as an accent on a wall, cabinetry, or built-in shelves to create a focal point without overwhelming the space. Pair bold colors with neutrals or softer tones to achieve balance and harmony.
