Pantone Names 'Mocha Mousse' as 2025 Color of the Year

The warm, rich brown is described as embodying comfort, indulgence, and a growing connection to nature.

Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a soft brown inspired by chocolate, coffee, and cacao, reflecting a desire for comfort and simple pleasures.
The color is positioned as a versatile neutral that bridges minimalism and luxury, aligning with trends like quiet luxury and earthy aesthetics.
Mocha Mousse has already appeared prominently in fashion, beauty, and interior design, with brands and designers embracing it in collections for 2025.
Pantone has partnered with companies like Motorola, Joybird, and Post-it to integrate the color into products, including furniture, tech devices, and stationery.
Global events, including a light display on the London Eye, are planned to celebrate the color's debut, marking the 26th anniversary of Pantone's Color of the Year initiative.
