Pantone Color of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse Interior Inspiration
It’s the color of the year everyone waits for. Pantone has revealed its Color of the Year 2025, and it follows the trend we’ve already seen from the leading paint brands in the world.
Pantone is the global color authority, and its color forecasts have a huge impact on the design world. In early 2024, The Nordroom made a Color of the Year prediction based on the color palettes provided by Pantone, showing the trending hue for the upcoming year. And Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025 was one of the trending color predictions.
Pantone Color of the Year 2025
It will be the year of BROWN as Pantone has chosen Mocha Mousse as its Color of the Year 2025. Mocha Mousse is an evocative soft brown that transports our senses into pleasure and deliciousness. The warm and rich brown hue nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cocoa, chocolate, and coffee. It appeals to our desire for comfort.
For a couple of years, there has been a growing movement to align ourselves with nature, which we also see reflected in the past colors of the years. Characterized by its organic nature, Pantone’s Mocha Mousse honors and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Mocha Mousse finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation.
In addition to choosing a Color of the Year 2025, Pantone has also created five color palettes with hues complementing Mocha Mousse.
Pantone Relaxed Elegance Color Palette
Revel in your own special moment. Imbued with a sensorial richness, Mocha Mousse inspires us to curate experiences that will boost personal comfort and wellness. From sweet treats to nature walks, the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can also gift and share with others.
The Relaxed Elegance color palette consists of warm neutral from a cream tone to a dark brown that will create a harmonious and calming look.
Pantone Floral Pathways Color Palette
A cornucopia of suggestive scented floral tones, blended with soft mocha and a shaded willow green, leads us down a cobblestone path.
The Floral Pathways color palette features beautiful natural hues like green, blue, and brown. It’s more diverse in tones than the relaxed elegance palette, but still natural, calm, and harmonious.

Mocha Mousse nestles in, offsetting the vibrancy of this uniquely balanced, multi-colored, and somewhat exotic grouping of warm and cool color tones.
