Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse

The wait is over, and it’s official – Pantone has crowned PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as the Colour of the Year for 2025. This warm, luxurious brown is a timeless choice that embodies sophistication, practicality, and a sense of comfort. At Spud Creative, we’re already imagining the possibilities this shade opens up for design and branding in the coming year.

Why Mocha Mousse Stands Out

Mocha Mousse is more than just a colour; it’s a mood. With its earthy undertones and luxe feel, it’s a major departure from last year’s soft peach hue, offering a grounded yet elevated aesthetic. This versatile shade feels equally at home in a minimalist palette or paired with vibrant accent colours, making it an instant classic.

Inspiration for Designers

Branding

Mocha Mousse is perfect for brands aiming to convey warmth, trust, and elegance. Its neutral tone makes it adaptable across industries, from boutique coffee shops to high-end fashion lines.

Print Materials

Imagine business cards, packaging, or stationery with a subtle Mocha Mousse backdrop – it’s sleek, modern, and memorable. At Spud Creative, we think it pairs beautifully with metallic foils or textured finishes for added depth.

Digital Design

For web and social media, Mocha Mousse provides a calming backdrop, drawing attention to content without overwhelming the viewer. Pair it with creamy whites, muted blues, or even vibrant oranges for striking visuals.

Why We’re Excited

At Spud Creative, we love how Mocha Mousse bridges practicality and luxury. It’s a reminder that design doesn’t have to shout to make an impact. This shade invites us to think creatively about how we can weave warmth and sophistication into our projects – whether it’s a website redesign, a logo refresh, or a new print campaign.

Final Thoughts

PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is more than a trend – it’s a timeless hue that resonates with the present moment. It invites designers and brands to embrace a colour that feels grounded yet aspirational, blending seamlessly into both modern and classic aesthetics.
