The Pantone Company, a global leader in color design, selected "Mocha Mousse" as its 26th annual "Color of the Year." The soft brown will serve as inspiration for trends in apparel, accessories, home design, graphic design and more. What is officially designated PANTONE 17-1230 is described as a warm and flavorful brown. The color conjures both the natural world, with its earthy tones, and delectable deliciousness, with its suggestion of cacao, chocolate and coffee. “Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute.
