Colour of the year, 2025
For 2025, the Pantone Colour Institute selects PANTONE 17-230 Mocha
Mousse, a warming, brown colour imbued with richness. It nurtures us
with its suggestion of the detectable qualities of chocolate and coffee,
answering our desire for comfort.

Supported by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230
Mocha Mousse expresses thoughtful indulgence, sophisticated and lush.
Yet at the time, an unpretentious classic, Mocha Mousse extends our
perceptions of the browns from humble and grounded to embracing
aspirational and luxe, says LEATRICE EISEMAN, Executive Director
of Pantone Colour Institute.

One of the most appealing of Mocha Mouse is its ability to pair with
a wide range of other colours. It blends effortlessly with both warm
colours and colour tones. This makes it an ideal choice for those who
wish to experiment with bold contrasts while maintaining a sense of
cohesion and balance.
