Out of all the color prediction announcements that happen each year, there are none as hotly anticipated (and culturally significant) as Pantone's pick. And for 2025, they've just named 'Mocha Mousse' as their latest Color of the Year.
Prepare to see this chic, chocolatey color everywhere. The predictions, forecasts, and commentary shared by Pantone generally go on to influence all industries — from interiors to beauty, fashion, industrial, and architectural design. Executive director of Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, says 2025's rich and sophisticated brown is "underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures. 'Mocha Mousse' expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic."
