Mocha Mousse (17-1230) has been declared the 2025 ‘Color of the Year’ according to the Pantone Color Institute that started naming colors in 1999. Each year, Pantone chooses a color that reflects the global mood and attitude.
“Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse presents a discreet and tasteful touch of glamor. A flavorful brown shade, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth. There is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Characterized by its organic nature, Mocha Mousse honors and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Imbued with authenticity, Mocha Mousse finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation,” Pantone said on its social media posts.
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, Mocha Mousse is “A warming, brown hue imbued with richness. The sensorial warmth of the brown color is reminiscent of chocolate, coffee, and cacao, which is appealing to our desire for comfort.”
“It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” The soft, rich brown is the follow-up to 2024’s equally muted choice, Peach Fuzz, and is said to evoke feelings of luxury.
For 2025, Mocha Mousse symbolizes a yearning for indulgence, harmony, and calm in an increasingly dynamic world, offering a reminder of the importance of balance and refinement in peoples lives.
The selection process for Pantone’s Color of the Year is a meticulous blend of art and science. Experts at the Pantone Color Institute analyze global trends in art, technology, entertainment, travel, and even socio-political movements. The chosen color not only reflects these influences but also captures a broader cultural zeitgeist.
“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."
In recent years, Pantone’s Colors of the Year were Classic Blue, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow, Very Peri, Viva Magenta, and Peach Fuzz.
