colour of the year 2025 🤎

Pantone is a global colour authority and provider of professional colour language standards for the design community. Each year they select a colour that captures the global zeitgeist and express a global mood and an attitude, reflecting collective desire in the form of a single, distinct hue.

This year they have introduced MOCHA MOUSSE (Pantone 17-1230), a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2025. We take inspiration from Mocha Mousse and showcase a range of amazing design products in beautiful hues to match.

"For Pantone Colour of the Year 2025, we look to a mellow brown hue whose inherent richness and sensorial and comforting warmth extends further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others." - says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute
