Pantone Color of the Year 2025

I've been excited about Pantone's Color of the Year this year...Mocha Mousse.  I've been waiting for some chocolate-y colored clothing but so far, nothing.

Have you noticed more clothing in this color?

Our dining room and entry walls are pretty much this color, maybe a little more warmth/yellow and I love it.

Re: Pantone Color of the Year 2025

Psychologists would probably have a field day with me but my favorite color is BROWN.  Everything from almond to dark chocolate.  Brown pairs well with almost everything and can be used to evoke somber and serious to light and airy.

 

I am especially fond of brown paired with black!  My kitchen is almond, taupe, brown and black with terra cotta accents.  I refer to it as my "Rottweiler kitchen".

 

I think that it has become easier to find all kind of home goods in the brown family for about the last 3 years or so.

I hope it is a trend for awhile.

I love this color!  I don't like really dark brown unless it is in pants.  But this color looks pretty!

the color of mud, so yes a neutral, but I much prefer a deep chocolate brown for clothes.  And few vendors on QVC have that very deep dark-chocolate brown.

I really like this years color too but haven't heard or seen much about it----have always been partial to brown-I look good in browns---in clothing and make-up.

I find black to be too harsh for wear in tops so use browns as my neutrals.  It looks so pretty with my turquoise jewelry.  All shades of brown.

Re: Pantone Color of the Year 2025

I like it but not much darker unless in pants.

 

Brown can be accesorized with coral, turquoise, etc. In jewelry and scarves.

 

I can do this brown in tops but any darker would drag down my skin tone.

 

I also have not seen many items all over the place in brown either.

Yuck I would not like it for clothes or home furnishings

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Deep, rich cordovan brown.  As in men's shoes.  The deeper version.  With a 'tinge' of dark burgundy within the deep brown.

 

I've always loved that color and the name 'cordovan'.  Very 'rich'.  

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
