  • Living Room: Cinnamon Slate 2113-40 is an excellent primary living room wall color; you can also use it to highlight architectural features like wood finishes. We love how it complements cream or beige furniture and accessories.

  • Kitchen and Dining Areas: Benjamin Moore Cinnamon Slate 2113-40 looks lovely against natural materials like wood and stone. Use it for lower kitchen cabinets or on an accent wall to perk up countertops and open shelving. In dining rooms, Cinnamon Slate can make mealtimes feel cozy and sophisticated.

  • Decor and Furniture: If you’re not ready to paint an entire room or one wall with Cinnamon Slate, use it on smaller elements like doors, built-in shelves, or trim. Or, try it on a piece of furniture and turn it into a unique focal point.
