The Pantone Color Institute has selected Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as its colour of the year.
THe 2025 colour is a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. Pantone says ‘it nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort’.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director, Pantone Color Institute, commented: “Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence.
“Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.”
Laurie Pressman, vice president, Pantone Color Institute added: “For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.”
