Since 1999, a global team of color experts at the Pantone Color Institute has combed the world looking for new color influences to select their color of the year. For 2025, they selected PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. This warm, brown hue is imbued with richness that simultaneously conveys a sense of both luxury and comfort.
“PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” states Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone Color Institute. “Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic.”
