Cinnamon Slate: 2025 Paint Color of the Year

According to Benjamin Moore, Cinnamon Slate is 2025’s Color of the Year. Cinnamon Slate is a combination of purple and brown that builds off 2024’s theme of more calm, more comfort, and more subtlety.
The darker plum-purple in Cinnamon Slate offers a sense of stoic strength, while the mixture of a velvet, almost leathery brown provides the feeling of safety. After what many people might call a tumultuous 2024, it’s a perfect blend of quiet confidence for anyone in need of a break.
Buying or selling a home can make your clients feel like they’re spinning out of control with everything they need to do. While it’s a good idea for Sellers to depersonalize their homes, keeping things modern is the flip side of the equation. This color could do both at once.
Complementary 2025 Colors
In addition to Cinnamon Slate, Benjamin Moore created an entire palette to complement their color of the year. You can check out each color below.

The overall palette theme skews toward warm, neutral colors—colors that say, “I’m taking a break from the constant stimulation of life, in my home, where I’m most comfortable.” Not a bad way to approach 2025.

Get More Comfort With 2-10
If 2025 is the year of comfort and quiet confidence, then it’s also the year of 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (2-10) for your Buyers and Sellers.
Breakdowns can be more than just a burden for Buyers and Sellers—they could derail the sale and affect your reputation.
With a 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan, you can help your clients get the peace of mind that if a major system or appliance breaks down, your clients have a powerful solution that can help them protect their budget as they move toward one of the biggest transactions of their lives.
Major breakdowns can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket. A 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan could help your clients:
- Vastly reduce those costs (sometimes down to as little as a Service Fee)
- Find a trusted, independent contractor to diagnose and resolve the issue
- Rest assured that covered breakdowns have a solution
Breakdowns never happen on a schedule, and it can be challenging to find solutions when they do happen. In fact, increased appliances use has led to more breakdowns than ever before. With a 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan, your clients have an answer to the question, “What do I do?”
Plus, 2-10 offers two additional benefits that help homeowners overcome common challenges.
First, it gives your clients access to our approved, high-quality, local, independent Contractor Network. That can take a lot of the pain of researching, vetting, and choosing a technician out of the equation, because we’ve done it already. That could also reduce the number of callbacks you receive about breakdowns.
Second, a 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan helps your clients cover big out-of-pocket repair and replacement costs, which could cost thousands. This is a critical strategy for reducing buyer’s remorse, as the high costs of home maintenance and other costs.
Conclusion
The 2025 color palette can be a great way to regain control and confidence in life to start 2025. These colors lend themselves to disconnecting from the noise and focusing on what matters most. When combined with a 2-10 Home Warranty Service Plan, your clients can breathe easier with a newfound sense of control.
