How enticingly rich it is! The trend forecasting consultancy Pantone, the global authority on colour, has unveiled Mocha Mousse as its Colour of the Year 2025.
According to Pantone, Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230) embodies a sophisticated and earthy elegance that can shine on its own or act as a versatile anchor for diverse palettes. From minimalist designs to intricate, detailed creations, this adaptable hue offers endless possibilities across industries that prioritize colour.
Describing the shade as a "sophisticated mellow brown," Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone, highlights its "inherent richness and sensorial warmth." She notes that its comforting, indulgent quality resonates with our collective yearning for simplicity, connection, and shared pleasures. This evolution from last year’s Peach Fuzz—a similarly comforting tone—reflects a continued emphasis on themes of solace and grounding.
Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s Executive Director, calls Mocha Mousse an "unpretentious classic" that aligns with a growing preference for products that are seasonless, gender-neutral, and versatile. This trend reflects both rising living costs and the increasing focus on sustainability.
In fashion terms, this colour trend embodies the concept of quiet luxury, reflecting a preference for understated opulence through warm, inviting tones exuding confidence and elegance.
Since 1999, Pantone has selected a Colour of the Year to capture the essence of the cultural moment and the year ahead. The choice, drawn from Pantone’s extensive color library, is determined by the team’s global explorations, interviews, and analysis of visual trends.
