Pantone announces ‘Colour of the Year for 2025’

A new PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming rich brown hue, nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to the 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. There is a growing movement to align everybody more closely with the natural world. Characterised by its organic nature, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse honours and embraces the sustenance of physical environment. Imbued with authenticity, it finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation.

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. With that in mind, for Pantone Colour of the Year 2025, the company looks to a colour that progresses their embrace of the feeling of the (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.
