Pantone has revealed PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as the Colour of the Year for 2025. A soft, warm brown, which balances earthy refinement with subtle luxury, and references comforting associations with cacao, chocolate and coffee.
Chosen for its sense of comfort and connection, Mocha Mousse reflects a growing desire to embrace natural tones that feel authentic and grounding, while also offering a versatile neutral with a refined, elevated quality.
The colour’s adaptability makes it well-suited across interiors, apparel, beauty and packaging, shifting seamlessly from plush velvets and suedes to sleek metallic finishes and diaphanous fabrics.
To mark the announcement, Pantone is partnering with brands including Motorola, Joybird, Wix Studio and Ultrafabrics, bringing Mocha Mousse to fashion, interiors, digital design and more, celebrating its warmth and versatility.
