Pantone Colour of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse

The Pantone Colour Institute, a subsidiary of the American colour authority X-Rite, has announced the Colour of the Year 2025: 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. This versatile shade embodies earthy elegance and provides a strong foundation, equally suited to minimalist and opulently adorned designs. The Colour of the Year is not only a trend indicator but also serves as a source of inspiration for designers and industries focused on colour. According to Pantone, Mocha Mousse reflects a longing for simple pleasures in everyday life and a mindful sense of indulgence.

““Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of 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 aspirational and luxe. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour."” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute.

The new trend colour is expected to make its mark in fashion, product design, and other creative industries. It powerfully demonstrates how colours can strike a balance between everyday practicality and luxurious aesthetics.
