Pantone's new 2025 color of the year has been chosen: Mocha Mousse
Pantone Institute announces the color of the year 2025!
Natural shades referring to nature will reign in the coming months. Let's focus on comfort and well-being. Their guarantee is to be colors referring to nature, including primarily the color 2025, or 17-1230 Mocha Mousse.
Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute on the color PANTONE 2024
As Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, says:
"For Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we are looking for a soft shade of brown whose innate richness and sensual, soothing warmth extend further to our desire for comfort and indulgence in simple pleasures that we can give and share with others."

It is impossible not to agree with the above words. The subtle and warm brown shade creates a unique and interesting impression in the space. It encourages creativity and is a suitable base, which, in combination with floral colors, will fit into the upcoming trends.
Pantone in fashion around the world
Unlike the Peach Fuzz color from 2024, Mocha Mousse will most likely find more fans, especially in the interior design and beauty industries. The brown shade of nude is one of the most popular colors for walls or furniture upholstery.
Imagine that you are in an interior where the comforting warmth of the Mocha Mousse shade is spreading: walls covered in pastel brown paint, a soft brown shade visible in accessories. We are sure that Mocha Mousse will find many applications in the broadly understood design.

Subdued Pantone color palette for 2025
The pastel shade of cornflower blue is the definition of elegance. An interesting combination with Mocha Mouse will also be a pastel shade of cool, pine green. In the case of the color Mocha Mousse, we can be sure that the combination with pastels inspired by nature will achieve a warm effect in the interior. Choosing the perfect shade depends on individual needs and preferences. Mocha Mousse allows us to fit into trends without having to decide on bold and saturated colors, such as the color Viva Magenta.
Combinations of colours that occur naturally in nature never go out of fashion. Pantone is aware of this, which it proves to us every year. The Pantone palette is one of the most popular colour ranges used in fashion, the printing industry and broadly understood design. It presents the inherent richness of the beauty of colours and is a source of endless inspiration in design.
