For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, 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.

A trend-led fashion color with a rich neutrality, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perception of brown, crossing from the humble and earthbound to the luxurious and aspirational. Infused with a sensorial warmth that comes through in soft touch weaves, buttery leathers and suedes, cushy velvets, cashmere, angora and shaggy, and furry knits that envelope and embrace, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse transports our senses into the pleasurable comfort it inspires and invites. At the same time with its lightweight appearance, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse lends itself equally to diaphanous and floaty chiffons, silky textures, satins, and jersey fabrics that add fluidity and draped elegance.
