Color of the Year for 2025

Every year the major paint companies make predictions for what the newest (and best) color will be for home interiors, art and inspiration. This year Pantone picked MOCHA MOUSSE, a warm brown-gold hue imbued with richness. “It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” Not far off with a bit more of a purple undertone is Benjamin Moore’s CINNAMON SLATE, which they describe as a velvety brown and heathered plum. Lastly, RUMORS is the 2025 color pick from Behr, a dark jewel red which also hints at warmth, luxury and allure.

What does this say about us and where we are in 2025? It sounds like we’re ready for the good stuff – to be surrounded in rich warmth. If you’re looking to add some accent pillows, repaint a wall, or pick a new hue for your entry or bedroom – perhaps edge a bit toward the deeper, cozier end of the color spectrum. 

The housing activity continues to thrive and interest rates are holding for now…it’s a great time to purchase that investment property or new home to get the most for your money.

Warm Regards,
