The world's authority on color has spoken:

Pantone's 2025 'Color of the Year' is...'Mocha Mousse'

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.

With its sophisticated, earthy elegance, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse can stand alone or serve as a versatile foundation, enhancing a wide range of palettes and applications—from minimalist to richly detailed designs—across all color-focused industries.

'Simple and Comforting: A Soft, Warming Brown.' [[Pantone]] 

• Thoughtful Indulgence
• Harmonious Comfort
• Feelings of Contentment

Pantone selected this color for its evocative nature and warmth. It's described as: 

• A nurturing color that suggests the qualities of chocolate and coffee 
• A flavorful brown shade that envelopes us with its sensorial warmth
• A sophisticated and lush color that's also an unpretentious classic
• A color that extends our perceptions of browns from humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe 

                                                               

Pantone will install Mocha Mousse in real-world locations in major cities like New York, Shanghai, and Mumbai. The first installation will be at the London Eye.
