For 2025, the Pantone Colour Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown shade full of richness. It nourishes us with the suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, responding to our desire for comfort.
“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.”
Capturing a global mood of connection, comfort and harmony
The Pantone Color of the Year programme engages the design community and colour enthusiasts in a conversation about colour and highlights the relationship between colour and culture. Each year, Pantone selects a colour that reflects the global zeitgeist – the Colour of the Year expresses a global mood and attitude and reflects the collective desire in the form of a single, distinct hue.
