Pantone’s 2025 colour of the year is Mocha Mousse 17-1230. As THE colour of the year, it captures the global mood for “connection, comfort and harmony”. Pantone names this indulgent mellow brown hue as sophisticated, lush, and very chic.

Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Colour Institute, explains that Mocha Mousse is “underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures” and the colour “expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence” that is “sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic.”

How to refresh your home interior to include Mocha Mousse? With its aspirational and luxe feel, use it as a reference for your next leather sofa or armchair purchase. Look to soft velvet fabrics for your textiles, or this indulgent brown shade for wool fibre cushions, throws, accessories or ottomans.
