Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year is Mocha Mousse

Mocha Mousse is Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025!

The exact shade is 17-1230, "an evocative soft brown," and there’s a delicious reason behind it.

On social media, Pantone said that the “sensorial warmth” of the brown color is reminiscent of chocolate, coffee, and cacao, which is “appealing to our desire for comfort.” Not only that, Mocha Mousse also has its own subtle yet tasteful glamor.

Pantone added that the color is also inspired by the natural world.

“Characterized by its organic nature, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse honors and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment,” Pantone said.

“Imbued with authenticity PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation,” it added.

The Pantone Color of the Year is a much-awaited annual announcement, which aims to highlight “the relationship between colour and culture.”

In recent years, Pantone’s Colors of the Year were Classic Blue, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow, Very Peri, Viva Magenta, and Peach Fuzz.
