Mocha Mousse
Pantone Color of the Year 2025
As it does every year, Pantone, a global authority on colors, has announced the 'color of the year,' and for 2025 the chosen hue is Mocha Mousse.
The 'Pantone Color of the Year' is not simply a prediction of the hue that will most influence the next 12 months, but also an attempt to capture the trends and mood of the moment.
PANTONE Mocha Mousse 17-1230 is a warm shade of brown imbued with an innate richness that nurtures with its suggestion of the delicious quality of cocoa, chocolate and coffee. It represents a reminder of roots and nature, aiming to promote an authentic connection with the earth and the essentials of life. The color choice emphasizes the urgency of
re-establishing a deep connection with the natural environment, enhancing the authenticity and harmony between the needs of modernity and the eternal beauty of the natural world.
PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is described as “an evocative brown, transporting our senses into pleasure and inspiring goodness. A warm and intense shade of brown that appeals to our desire for comfort.”
“Sophisticated and luxurious, yet at the same time a timeless classic, Mocha Mousse changes our perception of browns from being humble and rooted to aspirational and luxurious. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy sophistication, Mocha Mousse presents an understated and refined touch of glamour. A savory brown shade that envelops us with its sensory warmth,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute.
There is a growing trend to move closer to the natural world. A trend that Mocha Mousse, with its organic and earthy nature, fully reflects. Imbued with authenticity, Pantone Color 2025 finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the boundless beauty of artistic creation.
“The eternal search for harmony seeps into every aspect of our lives including our relationships, the work we do, our social connections and the natural environment around us. Harmony brings feelings of fulfilment, inspiring a positive state of inner peace, calm and balance as well as retuning us to the world around us. Harmony embraces a culture of connection and unity as well as the synthesis of our mental, spiritual and physical well-being,” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “Inspired by this connection, for the Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a color that satisfies our desire for comfort and well-being and indulgence in the simple pleasures we can give and share with others.”
