Pantone’s “Color of the Year” program engages the design community and color enthusiasts in a conversation about color, highlighting the relationship between color and culture. Pantone selects a color each year that captures the global spirit of the times—the Color of the Year expresses a global mood and attitude, reflecting a collective desire in the form of a unique, distinct shade.

For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, brown shade imbued with richness. It nourishes us by hinting at the delightful qualities of chocolate and coffee, responding to our desire for comfort.

With its refined, earthy elegance, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse can stand alone or serve as a versatile foundation, enhancing a wide range of palettes and applications—from minimalist to richly detailed designs—across all color-focused industries.

Enjoy your personal luxury. With a subtle elegance and sensory richness, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse enables you to create moments of luxury that may be small-scale, but can extend a sense of indulgence throughout the day.
