I always get excited when Benjamin Moore announces their Color Trends palette for the upcoming year, and 2025 is no exception. After attending one of their recent color classes, I found myself completely inspired by the stunning range of hues they’ve chosen to define the year ahead. It feels like they really captured a blend of warmth, nature, and elegance with these colors, and I can’t wait to share them with you!

If you’re like me, you’ll want to dive right into each of these shades and think about how they could work in your home. Let’s take a closer look at Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color Trends, and I’ll share some of my favorite ideas for incorporating them into your own spaces.

1. Cinnamon Slate (2113-40)

Okay, let’s start with the Color of the Year—Cinnamon Slate. This one has a beautiful depth to it, with warm, earthy tones that feel comforting and sophisticated all at once. I love how it blends a bit of plum with brown undertones, making it versatile enough to work as a rich accent color or as a bold feature wall.

For me, this color would look amazing in a cozy living room or even in a bedroom where you want to create a calm, yet luxurious atmosphere. Think soft neutrals on the other walls and warm wooden accents to let this color truly shine. I can already picture it paired with textured fabrics like velvet cushions or wool throws. Dreamy!

2. Glacier White (OC-37)

Now, if you’re a fan of fresh, clean spaces, Glacier White is your new best friend. This isn’t your typical stark white; it’s got just enough depth to keep things interesting while still feeling light and airy. It’s the perfect backdrop for any room where you want a neutral but timeless vibe.

I imagine using this for trim or even on the ceiling to create some contrast against deeper wall colors like Cinnamon Slate. It would also make an amazing kitchen color—so crisp, bright, and refreshing.

3. Rosepine (461)

Rosepine is a color that really speaks to my love for nature-inspired tones. It’s this earthy, muted green that has an almost organic vibe, and it feels incredibly calming. If you’re looking for a way to bring a little bit of the outdoors in, this color is perfect.

I can see this in a bedroom or even a reading nook, where you want to create a peaceful, relaxing environment. Pair it with soft white linens, natural wood accents, and maybe a few plants, and you’ve got yourself a space that’s truly connected to nature.

4. Paris Rain (1501)

Next up is Paris Rain, a soft, sophisticated blue-gray. It has this beautiful misty quality, kind of like a foggy morning by the water, and I absolutely love that it feels both calming and elegant.

This one would be perfect for a bathroom or a spa-like retreat. Imagine walking into a bathroom painted in Paris Rain, with marble tiles and chrome fixtures—it would feel like your own private sanctuary.

5. Sea Salt (CSP-95)

If you’re in need of a refreshing, coastal vibe, Sea Salt is your go-to. It’s this soft, seafoam green that instantly makes me think of beach days and coastal breezes. It’s serene and relaxing, but it still has a bit of personality.

I’d use this in a home office or even a kitchen nook, where the calming color can help you focus and feel grounded. Throw in some rattan furniture and natural textures, and you’ve got a peaceful, inviting space.

6. Tissue Pink (1252)

Tissue Pink is a soft, delicate pink that adds a subtle warmth to any room. It’s the kind of color that feels nurturing and light, but with enough presence to make a statement. There’s something so inviting about this shade—it’s perfect for spaces where you want to feel cozy and cared for.

I would love to see Tissue Pink in a bedroom or even as an accent color in a living room. Pair it with gold accents and soft textures, and it’ll make your space feel light and airy, like a breath of fresh air.

7. Leather Saddle Brown (AF-180)

Now, let’s talk about Leather Saddle Brown—a rich, deep brown with a bit of warmth. This color brings that classic, earthy feel to a space and makes everything feel more grounded. It’s perfect for spaces where you want to evoke a sense of elegance and timelessness, without feeling too heavy.

Imagine using this color in a study or home office, complemented by dark wood furniture and leather accents. You could also incorporate this color into a living room for a more sophisticated, inviting vibe.

8. Ashwood Moss (CSP-100)

Ashwood Moss brings a bit of earthiness back into the palette with its muted, greenish-gray tone. This color has a calming effect and would work beautifully in spaces that want to feel both fresh and serene.

I see Ashwood Moss as an ideal color for an entryway or mudroom, where you want to set a peaceful, welcoming tone from the moment you walk in. Pair it with light woods and stone elements for an earthy, natural feel.

9. Chowning’s Tan (HC-69)

Chowning’s Tan is one of those warm neutrals that feels like a hug. It’s a golden tan with just the right amount of depth to keep it from being too yellow. This color is perfect for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere in any room.

I would use Chowning’s Tan in a living room or dining room to add warmth and balance. Pair it with a mix of earthy greens or soft whites for a space that feels both grounded and elegant.

10. Stained Glass (CSP-710)

If you want a little drama in your space, Stained Glass is the color to go for. It’s a rich, vibrant green that feels both regal and lively. It’s bold enough to make a statement but still has a sophistication that makes it work in a variety of settings.

I could see Stained Glass in a library or a feature wall in a living room, paired with dark wood furniture and metallic accents. This color is one that invites you to relax and take it all in.


Bringing These Colors Into Your Home

What I love about this palette is how each color feels like a natural extension of the environment around us. Whether you’re drawn to the calming greens and blues or the warm, earthy neutrals, there’s something here for every style.

  • Accent Walls: Consider Cinnamon Slate or Rosepine for a statement wall in your living room or bedroom.
  • Trim and Doors: Pair Glacier White with a bolder wall color to make your trim and doors pop.
  • Textiles and Decor: Incorporate softer shades like Sea Salt or Paris Rain through pillows, throws, and rugs for subtle but impactful touches.
  • Furniture: Rich tones like Leather Saddle Brown or Chowning’s Tan are perfect for larger furniture pieces, adding warmth and sophistication.

These colors are all about creating spaces that feel timeless and inviting. So, if you’re looking for a little refresh or a full redesign, I think Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color Trends are the perfect place to start!
