Paint Colors of the Year 2025

Drumroll please…The paint colors of the year are finally here! Each of the colors below offers a unique hue that reflects emerging design trends and societal moods. Let's dive into the selections from Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Farrow & Ball, and explore how these colors can transform your living spaces.

Pantone: Mocha Mousse 17-1230

Pantone selected Mocha Mousse to embody comfort, elegance, and a timeless appeal, a color that transcends fleeting trends.

According to Pantone, the choice reflects a desire for softer, lighter tones. While vibrant shades like Barbie pink and Brat green have their place as "dopamine brights," Mocha Mousse captures a mood that feels more enduring and profound.

Incorporating Mocha Mousse into Your Home:

  • Walls: Mocha Mousse on all four walls (and even the ceiling) would instantly create a calm comfort in any room

  • Accent Furniture: If you can’t commit to bathing your walls in Pantone’s 2025 choice, add warmth to your furniture with this rich hue on pillows and blankets

  • Curtains: Another way to use Mocha Mousse to elevate a room is with floor to ceiling velvet drapes adding a quiet luxury and sophistication to the space

Benjamin Moore: Cinnamon Slate 2113-40

Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year for 2025 is Cinnamon Slate, a delicate blend of heathered plum and velvety brown. This nuanced hue brings a smooth familiarity to any design, offering a balance between modern sensibility and enduring style.

Incorporating Cinnamon Slate into Your Home:

  • Living Rooms: Use Cinnamon Slate on accent walls to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

  • Bedrooms: Pair it with soft neutrals and textured fabrics for a serene retreat.

  • Kitchens: Combine with warm wood tones and metallic accents for a sophisticated look.


Sherwin-Williams: Mauve Finery SW 6282

Celebrating 15 years of Color of the Year selections, Sherwin-Williams introduced a Color Capsule of the Year for 2025, featuring nine modern, fresh colors. At the heart of this capsule is Mauve Finery, a subdued, sophisticated mauve that brings botanical beauty and a dreamy quality to spaces.

Incorporating Mauve Finery into Your Home:

  • Bathrooms: Create a spa-like ambiance by using Mauve Finery on walls or cabinetry.

  • Home Offices: Enhance creativity and focus with this calming hue on accent walls.
