Pantone has announced that PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is its Colour of the Year for 2025. The global colour authority describes the shade as ‘a warming rich brown hue’ which ‘nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort’.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said: “Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, it extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, Mocha Mousse presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour. This flavourful brown shade envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.”

In celebration of the 26th anniversary of Pantone Color of the Year, Pantone will – for the first time – highlight the colour in events and experiences all over the world. From New York and London to Shanghai and Mumbai, Pantone will be sharing public spaces and colour events that will make Pantone Colour of Year 2025 accessible for all.
Pantone’s first stop on its international tour was at its official unveil partner: the lastminute.com London Eye. In a world-first for Pantone, the iconic attraction unveiled Pantone Colour of the Year 2025 by lighting up the capital’s skyline in PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse. The show was live for the public to view on Thursday December 5 and shone bright throughout the evening for everyone to enjoy.
