Pantone Color of the Year: What it Means for Design in 2025

For 2025, Pantone’s winner is Mocha Mousse. Laurie Pressman, Executive Director of Pantone’s Color Institute, had this to say on the selection: “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, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspiration and luxe.”
