Pantone Introduces Color of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse

Wedding moodboards at the ready; Pantone, the global colour authority and provider of professional colour language standards and digital solutions for the design community, today introduced PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse.

An evocative soft brown that transports our senses into the pleasure and deliciousness it inspires: cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort.

"Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence" says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute.

"Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, it extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe; presenting a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour," - perfect for wedding colour schemes and themes! 

There is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Characterized by its organic nature, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse honors and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Imbued with authenticity, it finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute added, "With that in mind, for Pantone Color of the Year 2025 we look to a color that reaches into our desire for comfort and wellness, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others."

In celebration of the 26th anniversary of Pantone Color of the Year, Pantone will also for the first time highlight the color in events and experiences all over the world. From New York and London, to Shanghai and Mumbai, Pantone will be sharing public spaces and color events that will make Pantone Color of Year 2025 accessible for all.
