Pantone Colour of 2025: How to Integrate Mocha Mousse into Your Home Decor

If there’s one thing that always sparks debate in design, it’s colour. We all have our preferences, but when Pantone announces its Colour of the Year, it’s impossible not to stop and take notice. For 2025, Pantone has selected Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230), a warm and comforting shade of brown inspired by the rich tones of chocolate and coffee. After the joyful and vibrant Peach Fuzz in 2024, Mocha Mousse brings calm, harmony, and understated elegance.
Shades of brown connect us to nature and carry a soothing energy that makes spaces feel cosier and more focused on well-being.
This call to serenity reflects a broader movement prioritising wellness and our connection to the world around us. As Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute, explains, Mocha Mousse aligns with our desire for comfort and simple pleasures, promoting balance between the mental, spiritual, and physical.
