Pantone Names Mocha Mousse the 2025 Color of the Year

Carlstadt, NJ, December 6, 2024-Pantone has named Mocha Mousse the 2025 color of the year. 

“A warming rich brown hue, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort,” said Pantone.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said the color evokes “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 the aspirational and luxe,” said Eiseman.
