The Pantone Color of the Year 2025

Hello, Mocha Mousse.

Sophisticated with an earthy refinement, the Pantone Color Institute’s 2025 Color of the Year is a grounded classic that helps fulfill our desire for comfort and simple pleasures. Below you’ll find six residentially focused palettes that bring together Formica® Brand products, FENIX™ Innovative Surfaces and Pantone Mocha Mousse in ways that will inspire your next design project.

Casually Classic

Classic Bianco Antico is a casual granite that works in many kinds of spaces, from bathrooms to kitchens to living rooms. Mocha Mousse can be used as an accent to bring out the warm tones of the stone. Wide Planked Walnut features traditional styling with an unexpected colour combination in the planking.

Rosso Jaipur brings warmth and colour along with Mocha Mousse, while Bronzed Steel and Grigio Aragona ground the palette. Neutral White and Woven Argent lighten the overall composition while the solid surface and Bronzed Steel add texture.

Biophilic Retreat

Nature-inspired spaces create calming, earthy atmospheres that bring the beauty of nature indoors. The Taj Mahal stone pattern and Luxe Mango woodgrain evoke tranquility and warmth, while Foliage adds a stylized leaf pattern to this biophilic palette. Mocha Mousse brings out subtle terra cotta and peach colours in the Taj Mahal, Foliage and White Renew patterns.

Woolen Cloth and White Renew add a natural texture, while the two FENIX™ colours subtly reinforce the green of a biophilic palette. Brushed Bronzetoned Aluminum softly echoes the colour of Mocha Mouse.

Subtle Spaces

Clean lines and uncluttered spaces are the height of elegance. This palette fosters tranquility and functionality, while minimizing excess. The neutral colour scheme is simple and refined, with Prosecco Quartzite as the star. This beautiful pattern blends creamy white, warm taupe, terra cotta and a subtle tinted purple-gray. Mocha Mousse adds a colorful accent to keep the look from getting too bland.

Camel Elm grounds this palette while Bianco Kos and Beige Luxor lift the overall scheme with their soft colourations. Fossilized Pebble and Oxibronze provide much-needed texture in this minimalist palette.

• 9915-11 Prosecco Quartzite 180fx® Laminate

Relaxed Rustic

Warm neutrals like beige, taupe and terra cotta are making a comeback because they instill a sense of warmth and coziness. The organic shapes of Breccia Mojave bring an earthy, timeless feel to the décor. Mocha Mousse adds bold colour that’s echoed in Breccia Mojave.

Noir Cedar and Cacao Orinoco ground the palette while providing texture. Oxidized Silver Patina adds a fluid natural element and a hint of sparkle. Elemental Concrete and the Everform® Solid Surface options add natural visual texture.

Deep and Moody

Sahara Noir and Blackened Legno make a bold statement in this dark and moody décor. The terra cotta veins in the stone pattern pop alongside the Mocha Mousse. Dalmata Terrazzo Matrix reaffirms the Pantone Colour of the Year in a more neutralized version, while it provides a light-hearted texture in contrast to Sahara Noir.

Blu Shaba is a fun, complementary colour accent to Mocha Mousse and the terra cotta veining in Sahara Noir. Beige Arizona lifts the palette by bringing out the soft, warm white veining of the stone, while Brass Patina adds more glamour to this deep and moody design.

Modern Warmth

Fractured Marble is the star of this palette with its warm white background and architectural cracked marble design. Mocha Mousse is highlighted in the marble’s shading, as is Viola Orissa, adding an elegant tone to the palette.

Patine Chalk also has hints of purple, further grounding Viola Orissa to the palette. Walnut Butcherblock warms the composition and brings out the brown tones of the stone. The colours of the stone are repeated in the Bianco Terrazzo. Metallic Gilt further echoes the colour of Fractured Marble, adding in some shine while warm gray Grigio Londra keeps this palette warm, but still somewhat serious.
