Warm, earthy tones have undeniably taken center stage this season. From the tile brands exhibiting at Cersaie to the latest new collections at High Point Market’s fall event, these rich, natural hues are everywhere. Inspired by the colors of the earth, these particular tones bring a sense of tranquility and grounding to any space. Shades like terracotta, cinnamon, rust, and deep red evoke a feeling of authenticity, while olive greens and warm yellows create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Together, these colors infuse interiors with a comfort we all crave—offering a soothing connection to nature and a deeper sense of belonging.

Benjamin Moore has long been celebrated for its expertise in color, both technically and artistically, with their Color of the Year selections consistently hitting the mark. This year, the brand introduced Cinnamon Slate—a captivating shade that evokes the warmth of a sun-kissed landscape. A sophisticated blend of heathered plum and rich, velvety brown, as Benjamin Moore describes it, this hue speaks to our growing desire for a deeper connection to the earth. The subtle nuances within this alluring shade highlight the beauty of its complex undertones (see above). When combined, these elements create a striking, harmonious effect that is both inviting and intriguing.
