Pantone Color of the Year 2025

I've been eagerly awaiting the Pantone 2025 Color of the Year announcement. I attended their seminar this morning, excited to find out what it would be. But before I get into the 2025 color, let's take a look back at the COTY from the past 12 years. 


The Color of the Year is usually, but not always, taken from Pantone's Spring Trend Report. These are the colors in the Trend Report for Spring 2025. 


Based on everything I know about Pantone, I was predicting we'd see Cocoon as the 2025 COTY.  Between the shade and the name, it seemed like the obvious choice. Unless Pantone chose a color that wasn't in the Trend Report, that is. Which is exactly what happened. 

The Pantone Color of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse. 


I'm going to go ahead and give myself credit for guessing correctly. The shade is similar and the descriptors are too. It just makes sense for where we are as a society right now. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Mocha Mousse! Let me know in the comments.

    Your prediction was super close! I like the color, maybe more for this time of year vs. the whole year because it feels warm. I don't entirely agree with the description of "rich" brown though. It has a lot of pink undertones.
