It's giving Wendy's Frosty |
Forget Brat Summer's neon green. And "Wicked's" watermelon-chic aesthetic is clearly so last year. Pantone's color of the year for 2025 has been announced and it's ... brown? The company announced Thursday morning that the shade for the coming year is the more demure Mocha Mousse, a serene, lightly pigmented color I'm guessing they couldn't name after a Frosty or a Mocha Frappuccino for copyright purposes. "The overriding theme as we went into looking for this year's color was this whole idea of harmony," Pantone Color Institute Vice President Laurie Pressman said, resulting in a light brown that can reflect both luxury and an alignment with the natural world. 🍫 More about the shade of the year. | Pantone's color of the year is "Mocha Mousse."
