Why Cinnamon Slate Works as a Foundation Colour


Cinnamon Slate is one of those timeless and refreshing colours. Its warm, earthy vibe makes a room feel bigger without being too bold. It works with just about any style, whether classic or modern.


It’s versatile, too! This colour creates a warm atmosphere on
your walls, furniture, or little accents, making any room inviting.


What’s great about Cinnamon Slate is how it compliments other colours from the 2025 palette. Its soft tones pair nicely with bolder shades or more muted colours, giving you so many ways to play around with your design.

Complementary Colours From the 2025 Palette


Benjamin Moore’s 2025 palette has some amazing shades that bring out the best in Cinnamon Slate. Here are a few standouts:


  • Sea Salt: This soft blue-green is like a breath of fresh air next to Cinnamon Slate. It adds a serene contrast.
  • Leather Saddle Brown: This deep, earthy brown creates a grounded, cohesive look that feels rich and comforting.
  • Golden Russet: Want to add some energy? Golden Russet pops against Cinnamon Slate, adding excitement without overwhelming the space.
  • Hint of Lavender: This light, soft purple is a fun contrast to the warm tones of Cinnamon Slate. It adds a bit of elegance and sophistication, balancing out the more muted hues.

Practical Applications for Colour Pairing

You can use Cinnamon Slate throughout different rooms, such as:


Living Rooms

Apply Cinnamon Slate to the walls to create a warm base, then introduce Sea Salt through rugs or artwork for balance. Leather Saddle Brown furniture, such as a sofa or armchair, adds depth and symmetry.


Bedrooms

Highlight a single wall with Cinnamon Slate as a feature, pairing it with Golden Russet throws or pillows to give off energy. Lampshades, curtains, picture frames, or vases in subtle lavender accents add extra focal points.


Kitchens and Dining Areas

Choose Cinnamon Slate for cabinets or a backsplash, contrasting it with Leather Saddle Brown seating and metallic gold hardware for a polished look.
