Cinnamon Slate by Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore has chosen a slightly moody, nature-inspired hue as their color of the year with confidence. Named Cinnamon Slate, this color is a harmonious blend of deep plum and velvety chocolate brown described by the brand as "versatile, yet unique." The selection of Cinnamon Slate was based on its ability to stand out while maintaining a subtle presence in a room. This paint color is included in the brand's 10-color palette, consisting of five warm and five cool shades that can be mixed and matched to add a soft and calming touch of color to any space.
How to use Cinnamon Slate
Using cinnamon slate as a strong accent color in spaces with furniture lacking character can instantly elevate the overall look and feel of the room. The rich and warm tones of cinnamon slate can add depth, sophistication, and a touch of drama to an otherwise bland or neutral space. Here are some ways to effectively incorporate cinnamon slate as an accent color:
Accent Walls: Painting one wall in cinnamon slate can create a focal point in the room and draw attention to that area. This can be particularly effective in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas.
By strategically incorporating cinnamon slate as an accent color, you can breathe new life into a space with furniture that lacks character, creating a cohesive and visually appealing environment.
Quietude HGSW6212 by HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams
Quietude is a key color in HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams' 2025 Color Collection of the Year. This hue was specifically selected for its calming properties, offering a light and tranquil setting for any space. According to Ashley Banbury, the color marketing manager for HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, the 'Naturally Refined' Color Collection reflects the growing interest in simplicity and a more relaxed lifestyle. Among the colors in the collection, the gentle sage green Quietude has been designated as the color of the year for 2025, creating a peaceful environment conducive to unwinding.
How we would use "Quietude"
Several of the brands available in our showroom offer support for custom paint matching using Sherwin Williams paints. This service allows customers to achieve their desired color by providing a sample or reference, which will then be matched using Sherwin Williams paint technology. The following brands in our showroom support custom paint matching with Sherwin Williams paints:
Cubitac Cabinetry
MasterBrand Kemper
Kent Premiere Cabinetry
Our designers recommend incorporating this color in smaller, more intimate settings like a vanity to introduce a soft and subtle color pop to the bathroom. By adding touches of this color strategically, you can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere without overwhelming the space. Consider using it on accessories like towels, soap dispensers, or a decorative vase to bring a harmonious and calming vibe to your bathroom decor.
Rumors by BEHR
Embracing the trend of deep, earthy tones, BEHR has selected Rumors as its color of the year. This rich red hue with brown undertones was chosen by Erika Woelfel, BEHR's vice president of color and creative services, to meet the demand for warm neutrals that can also make a bold, moody statement. Woelfel notes the shift towards warmer neutrals like ivories, creams, tans, and taupes becoming more prominent, as people seek to incorporate bolder, edgier colors into their homes.
How to incorporate Rumors into your space
To incorporate the Rumors paint colors in different rooms, you can follow these suggestions:
Our designers are excited about incorporating BEHR's color of the year, Rumors, into our interior designs. In the bedroom, Rumors can be used to create a calming and soothing atmosphere. We envision using Rumors as a soft, subtle color for the bedroom walls, creating a tranquil and relaxing environment for rest and relaxation.
On the other hand, in the laundry room, Rumors can make a bold and stylish statement. By painting the laundry room walls with Rumors, we can infuse this typically utilitarian space with a pop of modern and energetic color. This unexpected use of color can turn a mundane chore into a more enjoyable and visually appealing task.
In both spaces, Rumors offers versatility and a contemporary touch to our designs, making it a standout choice for this year's color palette.
As you embark on your remodeling journey, consider how these exciting colors of the year can transform your space into something truly special. Whether you're drawn to the warm richness of Cinnamon Slate, the serene calm of Quietude, or the bold depth of Rumors, each hue offers unique opportunities to enhance your home’s aesthetic.
