2025 Color of the Year

A versatile shade infused with inherent sophistication and earthy refinement, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse creates a strong chromatic foundation, complementing diverse applications, both minimalist and richly decorated, across design and all color conscious industries. We created five unique color palettes featuring PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, each conveying its own distinctive feeling and mood. Within each of these five color stories we have also included four suggested color harmonies which you can download and share using Pantone Connect.

The Pantone Color of the Year program engages the design community and color enthusiasts in a conversation around color, highlighting the relationship between color and culture. Pantone selects a color each year that captures the global zeitgeist—the Color of the Year express a global mood and an attitude, reflecting collective desire in the form of a single, distinct hue.

For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.
