Each year, a color is selected that captures the mood and the spirit of the time period. For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects Mocha Mousse, a soft, warm brown tone that appeals to our need for comfort. Not your ordinary brown, Mocha Mousse has timeless appeal. A grounding shade that evokes calm and reassurance while at the same time, offers richness and sophistication. The earthy tone reinforces our continual need to connect with nature.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute says it best, “Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.

It’s a time for Comfort and Warmth and you will see interior designers creating spaces that nurture and inspire. Be inspired by out Pinterest Board Mocha Mousse Pinterest Board
