Benjamin Moore Just Unveiled Its 2025 Color Trends Palette—and It’s the Perfect Mix of On-Trend and Classic Paint Shades

It’s a big week in the design world—in addition to their Color of the Year 2025 announcement this week, Benjamin Moore released their 2025 Color Trends Palette, a curation of 10 paint shades that reflect a combination of what’s currently popular in design and some forecasting. The palette, which features a broad range of hues, including their Color of the Year, is “quietly colorful,” and we have to agree. Virtually all of the 10 paints are soft and beautifully organic, perfect for any interior decor style. 

According to Hannah Yeo, manager of color marketing and development at Benjamin Moore, comforting colors are beginning to overshadow the super-saturated colors we’ve seen in previous years. “In 2023, we really saw the power of color and saturation. But then in 2024, there was a little bit of softening,” says Yeo. It’s all about comfort and coziness now—and these shades bring a warm familiarity. “It feels like the friend you just met but after talking to them for a little while, you feel like you’ve known them forever,” she adds. “That’s the vibe we felt with these colors.”

And that’s the point—the familiar nature of these paints speaks to their reliability, universality, and timelessness. Additionally, the colors relate to each other. Each stands strong individually, but they also work beautifully when paired together. “That’s something we wanted to explore in this palette, the idea that everything works together harmoniously and can be used throughout the whole home,” she says. If you’re ready to see what shades Benjamin Moore predicts will dominate next year (and how to work them into your own home), read on to meet the 2025 Color Trends palette.

Rosepine 461

According to Yeo, Rosepine is a gorgeous, rich green perfect for kitchen cabinetry. “It brings millwork to the forefront,” she says. Its slightly bright undertone offers a happy and fun vibe. Yeo even suggests using it to contrast against another bold textured surface, like an exposed brick wall, for a more playful element.

Paris Rain 1501

Paris Rain is a beautiful alternative to traditional gray. Its green undertone makes it feel a little more special and nuanced. Yeo suggests pairing this with complementary colors that will enhance its undertones and dictate the room’s color temperature. For example, rosy-colored bedding and window treatments will pump up the notes of green, while pairing it with black and white accents will keep the space on the more neutral side.

Sea Salt CSP-95

“Sea Salt is a little complex, because it takes about five to seven different color pigments to make up that color without using gray or black,” Yeo says. This means it’s a much more versatile shade, though, and will pick up even more nuances in different types of lighting. For example, morning light can make the color look very different compared to afternoon light—not to mention how artificial sources of light will affect its appearance. It’s an excellent option for those of us who enjoy a little range in our paint shades!

Glacier White OC-37

Glacier White is a soft and serene white. “It has the right amount of depth to prevent it from looking too sterile or too stark,” Yeo says. “It has a hint of cream that just makes it feel very inviting.” In isolation—without complementary colors and in warmer light—it has a soft look that’s warm but still looks clean. 

Stained Glass CSP-685

According to Yeo, Stained Glass is similar to Sea Salt in its complexity—both require many color pigments. It works with a huge range of colors because of this and even many wood tones.

Leather Saddle Brown 2100-20 and Chowning’s Tan CW-195

“Brown is definitely coming back,” Yeo says of Leather Saddle Brown and Chowning’s Tan. Perhaps one big reason for its popularity is its versatility. With brown shades, you can create a very formal space or make it casual and comfortable, Yeo explains. Or you can really be extra and color drench a space in brown to envelope that space in a warm, rich energy.

Tissue Pink 1163

Tissue Pink is an incredibly flexible hue—it’s a pretty neutral that can sometimes skew more beige or pink depending on the light. “There’s a blush of warmth that just makes you feel good,” Yeo says. And, of course, what you pair it with will bring out its undertones.

Cinnamon Slate 2113-40

The color palette would be incomplete without Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year 2025, Cinnamon Slate. It’s a “delicate mix of heather plum and velvety brown,” and it’s a star in the collection. “It looks brown at times, or sometimes plum, or even gray. It works perfectly as a neutral,” Yeo says. “It has that versatility and works with so many different home styles.” It has both blue and red undertones, she explains, so it really stretches what you can pair it with. 

Ashwood Moss 1484

According to Yeo, Ashwood Moss is a favorite for the Benjamin Moore team. It can look more forest green or even somewhat gray. Its deep saturation makes it a solid alternative to black, Yeo says. “When a room is color drenched in Ashwood Moss, it feels so rich and powerful, yet comforting,” she adds. “There’s something about the mossiness that makes you want to curl up and feel good.” It’s a sophisticated hue that can be used in so many other applications, as well, like millwork and built-ins.
