Pantone sees color as a form of communication and expression, which inspired them to start the Color of the Year program in hopes of encouraging new ways of communication and expression with color. The program engages the design community and highlights the relationship between color and culture. As a longtime color solutions provider for creators in the industry, Pantone promotes this program as an opportunity to further understand the power color has. You can find inspirational color palettes and associated products in the Pantone Marketplace!

For the 2025 Color of the Year, Pantone has chosen Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230), a color that nurtures us with the power of suggestion. It is a warm brown hue that reminds us of the delectable qualities of chocolate or coffee, bringing comfort and warm memories to our minds. The color answers the innate desire for comfort and holds a sophisticated, earthly elegance.

Leatrice Eiseman, Execute Director of the Pantone Color Institute, explained that the color was intended to express levels of thoughtful indulgence.d that the color was intended to echo the yearning for closeness and connection we feel as human beings.

"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 aspirational and luxe.” - Leatrice Eiseman

Why Is Mocha Mousse Important?

Mocha Mousse brings us thoughtful indulgence, harmonious comfort, and feelings of contentment with its subtle elegance and sensorial richness. It empowers you to create moments of luxury while enveloping us with its sensorial warmth. Aimed to be the perfect hue for “me moments,” Mocha Mousse can stand alone or serve as a versatile foundation that enhances a wide range of color palettes.

Pantone created five unique color palettes featuring Mocha Mousse that convey distinctive feelings and moods: Relaxed Elegance, Floral Pathways, Uniquely Balanced, Deliciousness, and Subtle Contrasts. Escape the mundane and treat yourself to an authentic shade of warmth and comfort by incorporating Mocha Mousse into your daily life.

About the Pantone Color Matching System

Pantone offers a range of products and services to help creative professionals define, communicate, and utilize color. All of these are based on a system created by the Pantone Color Institute, known as the Pantone Color Matching System. This system was developed to provide universal reference to a world of color, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency. It forms the backbone of Pantone’s “color as a language” approach because anyone can refer to the color matching system and incorporate it into their work.

This system is why professionals look for monitors that are tested and approved by Pantone to be as color accurate as possible. At BenQ, we take great care to make sure AQCOLOR monitors are perfectly in tune with Pantone standards across their entire color matching system. All of our monitors are Pantone Validated, factory-calibrated, and Pantone SkinTone Validated, designed to depict human skin tones with the utmost realism.
