Pantone Color of the Year 2025 is Mocha Mousse - Pantone just made it public in December.
Why is this color important? Major designers for fashion and home follow and anticipate these trends so many items in stores are already available in this color or will be soon available.
C-Lon Colors: I matched Mocha Mousse with MB-Medium Brown. For a lighter tint, I chose BLS-Blush, and for darker tones, BR-Brown and CHO-Chocolate.
For Apparel: According to Pantone, Mocha Mousse extends our perception of brown, crossing from the humble and earthbound to the luxury and aspirational or subtle luxury.
For Fashion Accessories: Mocha Mousse is an adaptable and neutral tone blending effortlessly with any color, enriching each ensemble with a touch of warmth and refined luxury. Soft and hard fashion accessories harmonize a sense of elegance with inviting warmth, enhancing the visual appeal of any outfit. Mocha Mousse introduces elevated sophistication.
Coloro Color of the Year is Future Dusk. It was announced in May 2023 and this year unlike last year, the Coloro and Pantone colors are completely different. Future Dusk is a dark celestial tone in between blue and purple, similar in hue to Very Peri, the 2022 Pantone Color of Year. This might explain why the Pantone and Coloro colors are not aligning this year.
Coloro says: “Future Dusk is a dependable blue, essential to reinforcing a sense of trust
and stability, but as a purple it also carries an imaginative quality
that will dynamically power the creation of new futures.”
C-Lon Colors: I matched Future Dusk with PI-Persan Indigo as the main color, and with HYA-Hyacinth and PKL-Periwinkle as the lighter tints.
Coloro like Pantone forecasts industrial and fashion color trends. Pantone is an international company based in the USA, Coloro is the color trend arm of WGSN, a international company forecasting trends in design and innovation.

All the photos of the C-Lon Bead Cord groups were taken in the same exact light on top of a linen bead tray liner and no photo adjustment were made in a photo editing program other than cropping the photos, adding the color codes and the Pantone color palettes above and below to give the color comparison all in one image.
All these C-Lon colors are available in the 2 main sizes:
> C-Lon Bead Cord - Tex 210 - The Standard Size ~ 0.5mm Ø
