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.
