It's that time of year when colour whizzes at Pantone announce the 'Colour of the Year.' For 2024 it was 'Peach Fuzz'. For 2025 they've gone bolder and browner with 'Mocha Mousse' - the chocolatiers and coffee roasters will love this one. It's very relaxing for interior decor too.
Delicious shades of Pantone 'Mocha Mousse' - oozes warmth and comfort
According to Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute: "For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others."
In PMS terms this is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse but comes in a palette of many shades.
In Pantone's own words:
"A versatile shade infused with inherent sophistication and earthy refinement, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse creates a strong chromatic foundation, complementing diverse applications, both minimalist and richly decorated, across design and all color conscious industries. We created five unique color palettes featuring Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, each conveying its own distinctive feeling and mood. Within each of these five color stories we have also included four suggested color harmonies which can be downloaded and shared using Pantone Connect."
We love it and are sure that designers and specifiers will embrace this delightful palette in 2025 and beyond.
