THE YEAR OF MOCHA MOUSSE & CINNAMON SLATE
Every year, designers across many disciplines, artists and color enthusiasts alike wait with anticipation for companies like Pantone and Benjamin Moore to release their annual color predictions. This year, Mocha Mousse and Cinnamon Slate take center stage. We've put together a few inspiration boards using their selected color palettes, alongside artwork, to show you how Gallery Wild's artists are already on trend with this year's color story.

DESERT DREAMING IN PANTONE HUES
Mocha Mousse, is a warm, sophisticated shade of rich, earthy brown with subtle hints of cream and taupe. This versatile, grounded hue brings a sense of warmth, elegance, and timelessness to any space or artwork. When paired with Pantone's extended color palettes, its neutral foundation allows the more subtle desert hues to pop with vibrancy. This is perfectly captured in both Caleb Meyer's "Winter Warmth" and Jared Sanders' "El Malpais" shown above.
BENJAMIN MOORE'S SOFT EARTH TONES
Combining the spicy warmth of cinnamon with the cool, subdued elegance of slate, Benjamin Moore's color of the year feels organic, like the warming tones of autumn or the deep, earthy richness of the land. Both Pantone and Benjamin Moore's palettes have a common thread of soft earth tones that we feel beautifully represents the landscape and wildlife found in the mountain and desert west.
We decided to break down Benjamin Moore's 2025 colors into smaller groups to show you how we've spotlighted a few artworks based on two main feature colors. Each inspiration board also contains accent colors from the same palette that are represented in our selected pieces as well.
