Pantone names its color of the year for 2025

Pantone has named an “evocative soft brown” its color of the year for 2025, continuing a tradition that has now run for more than a quarter of a century.

In a statement published Thursday, the global color specialist said Mocha Mousse was “a mellow brown infused with a sensorial and comforting warmth.”

“A warming rich brown hue, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort,” it added.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said the color evokes “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 the aspirational and luxe,” she said in the statement.

Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, added that Mocha Mousse feeds into a desire for harmony.

“With that in mind, for Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a color that reaches into our desire for comfort and wellness, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others,” she said.

Each December, Pantone names a color of the year for the following year, and this is the 26th time that it has done so.

To make their pick, experts at the Pantone Color Institute trawl through high-fashion runways, interior design trends, pop culture moments and human psychology.

The first Color of the Year was Sky Blue in 1999, while more recent choices include Peach Fuzz — “a light, fruity tone that conjures peace and serenity” — in 2024. and Viva Magenta — “an unconventional shade for an unconventional time” — in 2023.

Why is there all this hatred for Meghan Markle?

If she was a Golddigger they Would not have chosen to LEAVE the monarchy.

I watched the TV show ‘Suits’ And I thought she was a surprisingly good actress.

And they seem happy together

They chose to leave the WORK, but they wanted to keep the money.

They kept the money from Diana (fine, he inherited that), but wanted money from Charles and from the UK (for protection).

And then at the same time they decided they could make money by
1. cashing in on their “title” — that isn’t “leaving the monarchy”.
2. b*!ching about the royal family: in interviews, in books etc.

They aren’t ready to give up their titles. note that Princess Anne’s children don’t have titles

they want to get money from the privy purse but don’t want to do the work

they forget that the only reason todger is known is because he was born the spare prince.

That’s nice for a bag and shoes, even a winter coat.

I wouldn’t want a wall painted in it.

I like it. Seems like a very calm color although I would put more pale cream around it.

Oh, wait...we’re talking high couture here. Crème de la caca is more appropriate.
