Pantone's Colour of the Year 2025

Pantone’s colour of the year 2025 is Mocha Mouse 17-1230, “a mellow brown infused with a sensorial and comforting warmth”, according to Laurie Pressman, Vice President, Pantone Color Institute.

Here’s another official quote which I found on the Pantone website:

“There is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Characterized by its organic nature, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse honors and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Imbued with authenticity PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation.”

Well, even if I personally was hoping for a more bright, fresh and positive colour for the challenging year 2025, I still find the colour interesting, representing nature, coziness, good vibes and positive feelings.

As usual, it’s always a pleasure to interpret the colour of the year with Gunold threads and with fabric samples and little accessories which i find in my studio. So have fun looking at the following photos:

If you’ll visit the Munich Fabric Start show in February 2025 or the Premiere Vision in September 2025, you can see the samples also live on the Gunold booth.

Enjoy a happy and healthy 2025 and see you soon, best wishes, Reiner
