17-1230 MOCHA MOUSSE, COLOUR of 2025
The Pantone Colour Institute has announced PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as the Colour of the Year 2025, a warm, soft brown evoking feelings of comfort, indulgence, and connection to nature.
This choice reflects a global cultural shift towards harmony, balance, and sustainable living, mirroring a desire for thoughtful pleasures and a deeper connection with the natural world.
Mocha Mousse's earthy tones and organic nature symbolize stability, grounding, and authenticity, aligning with the growing trend of incorporating natural pigments and materials into design.
Unlike fleeting trends, this versatile colour serves as a timeless neutral, complementing diverse palettes and applications across various industries, from fashion to interior design.
The selection of Mocha Mousse signifies a move towards seasonless shades and a slower consumption cycle, emphasizing the colour's inherent sophistication and ability to harmonize with an ever-changing world.
