A warming rich brown hue, new PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort. The evocative soft brown transports the senses into the pleasure and deliciousness it inspires as the Pantone Colour of the Year selection for 2025.
‘Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,’ said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute. ‘Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, the colour extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, it presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour. A flavourful brown shade, it also envelops us with its sensorial warmth.’
There is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Characterised by its organic nature, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse honours and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Imbued with authenticity, it finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation.
‘The everlasting search for harmony filters through into every aspect of our lives including our relationships, the work we do, our social connections and the natural environment that surrounds us. Harmony brings feelings of contentment, inspiring a positive state of inner peace, calm and balance as well as being tuned in with the world around us. Harmony embraces a culture of connection and unity as well as the synthesis of our mental, spiritual and physical well-being,’ added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
‘With that in mind, for Pantone Colour of the Year 2025 we look to a colour that progresses our embrace of the feeling of our (former) PANTONE Colour of the Year, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, into another dimension, extending further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.’
