Every year, Pantone announces a Color of the Year, a shade they believe will set the tone for design, fashion, and home decor. For 2025, they’ve chosen a color that brings warmth, comfort, and sophistication to any space. As someone who loves experimenting with home decor, I was excited to explore how this trendy color could be used to transform different parts of the home.

In this post, you’ll find creative ideas to bring the 2025 Pantone color of the year to life.

What is the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year?

The Pantone Color of the Year 2025 is Mocha Mousse! Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is a warm, rich brown that brings feelings of comfort and relaxation.

Inspired by the indulgent flavors of chocolate and coffee, this cozy color speaks to our need for simple, everyday luxuries.
