If you feel like you’re longing for peace, you’re not alone. Pantone has once again picked up on our collective aspirational vibe by naming Mocha Mousse its Color of the Year 2025. Welcome to “the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee.”

The hue is a warm, sensuous brown that evokes “pleasure and deliciousness.” Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman states, “Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour. A flavorful brown shade, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.”

Organic and lavish, Mocha Mousse recalls natural wonders such as tree bark and rich mud while also bringing to mind sybaritic splendors like silk sheets and chocolate truffles. Pantone describes it as a color that “finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation.”

Pantone has become the master of color for the world. The company standardized color formulas so everyone from graphic designers to artists can define and replicate any hue.

Now in its 26th year, Pantone Color of the Year is introducing a new chapter by creating color events across the globe. It starts with the lastminute.com London Eye, a spectacular cantilevered observation wheel with ovoidal passenger capsules. Pantone is currently lighting up the London Eye in Mocha Mousse every evening.

Mocha Mousse pairs well with 2024’s Peach Fuzz.
