The Pantone Color of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230), a warm, rich brown inspired by the indulgent tones of chocolate, coffee, and cacao. This hue is described as sophisticated yet approachable, balancing grounded earthy qualities with a touch of luxury.
Mocha Mousse is versatile, making it suitable for a range of styles, from maximalist to minimalist. It pairs beautifully with both bold colors (like Blue Curacao and Spicy Mustard) and softer tones (such as Rose Tan and Cornflower Blue). The color anchors palettes that explore quiet luxury and natural elegance, offering a refined yet welcoming presence in interiors, fashion, and other creative spaces.
