Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year: “Cinnamon Slate”

—Hannah Yeo, Senior Manager, Color Marketing, Benjamin Moore
Pantone’s Color of the Year: “Mocha Mousse”

The color capsule is touted as bringing together classic neutrals, designers’ favorite colors, and hues from the past and the future to help homeowners tell their story.
“It’s very special to commemorate our 15th Color of the Year anniversary by expanding to an entire capsule that is a modern, fresh take on color, with a balanced and usable assortment of shades.”
—Sue Wadden, Director of Color Marketing, Sherwin-Williams
