Pantone has chosen a deep, luscious, earthy brown as its color of the year. PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse spans the color palette from a rich, deep leather, to a sumptuous caramel, to a comforting, indulgent and luxurious earth tone that evokes cacao, chocolate and coffee with warmth and sophistication.
“Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director Pantone Color Institute. “Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from the humbler and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe. Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamor. A flavorful brown shade, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.”
PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse follows the sensibility of aligning more closely with nature, our environment and the organic world, with this seasonless shade that acts as a core color, trend-led fashion hue and neutral.
