Clove and Cinnamon Slate: 2025’s Rich, Bronzy Brown Hues

When two leading paint brands choose strikingly similar tones as their Color of the Year for 2025, it’s a trend worth paying attention to. Sherwin-Williams unveiled Clove (SW 9605), while Benjamin Moore introduced Cinnamon Slate—both are dark, rich bronzy browns that bring elegance and sophistication to any space.

Why These Colors Stand Out

• Warmth & Depth: These rich brown undertones create a cozy, inviting atmosphere without sacrificing style.

• Versatile Pairings: Whether you want a classic or modern look, Clove and Cinnamon Slate blend beautifully with muted neutrals like creams and beiges, plus vibrant accents like turquoise or olive green.

• Elevated Elegance: Perfect for accent walls, cabinetry, or statement pieces in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms. Their bronzy sheen adds a luxurious, upscale touch.

Design Tips to Make Them Shine

• Layer with Texture: Use velvet pillows, woven rugs, or metallic fixtures to highlight the depth of these hues.

• Mind Your Lighting: Colors can shift depending on natural daylight or evening lighting—test samples in your space before committing.

• Accentuate with Contrast: Light trim or contrasting furniture balances the darkness and keeps rooms from feeling heavy.

• Try Accessories: Not ready for full walls? Use dark tones on interior doors, side tables, or decorative shelves for subtle drama.

What This Similarity Means

It’s rare for paint giants to align so closely, signaling a broader move toward comfort, warmth, and grounded luxury in home design. After years of airy neutrals and pastels, these bronzy browns add grandeur and a cozy nostalgic feel to modern interiors.
