Tasked with selecting a color that speaks to cultural and social trends, Pantone’s Color of the Year aims to embody the “Global Zeitgeist” and foreshadow what’s to come.
Mocha Mousse, the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year, is no surprising choice. As the design world has been leaning into warmth and comfort, this tonal hue captures this shift. Not only does the color evoke a sense of “quiet luxury” which has been a rising trend across design industries, but also a yearning for proximity to the natural world.
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 of the Pantone Color Institute
