Color Palette: Mocha Mousse Pantone 2025 Color of the Year

The 2025 PANTONE Color of the Year is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse! When I first saw it, I felt a little let down… I was ready for something bold! After a moment, I realized I’ve been using this color a lot as part of color schemes. I dove right into creating this color palette collection to share some ideas on how to use this classic lovely neutral color. Here’s what PANTONE has to say about their choice for the upcoming year:

 
For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selected PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming brown hue imbued with an inherent richness that nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort.

Do you have a strong opinion about the 2025 color of the year?

I hope you enjoy this color palette collection, inspired by the brand new PANTONE COTY for 2024: Mocha Mousse! If these inspire you to create I would love to know. Leave me a comment below, tag me on Instagram or Facebook (@paperheartdesign), or send me a message!
