Your Pet Doesn't Care About Pantone's Color of the Year, But You Should
By: Lizz CaputoWe've curated 10 stylish pet products in Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse. From dog beds to accessories, Figo's shopping trendy pet gear in the year's most coveted color.
Let's be real: your dog doesn't know what Mocha Mousse is, and your cat definitely doesn't care that it's Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year. But in a time when our pets have as many products at their disposal as we do, why not lean into the aesthetic? We've found 10 actually useful pet products in this year's it-color that'll make both you and your soulful sidekick look cooler than the local dog influencer.
Inside Pantone's 2025 'Color of the Year' selection process
Are you wondering how we ended up with Mocha Mousse as 2025's it-color? The process is wilder than you might think. Behind the scenes at Pantone, a global squad that their VP likens to "color anthropologists" spends their days diving deep into everything from cutting-edge tech to social movements, gallery openings, and travel trends. Ultimately, they're trying to capture the world's collective mood in a single hue.
This year's choice, Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, landed at a moment when the world feels pretty darn shaky. With global conflicts at their highest since World War II and North America's peace index taking a bit of a dive, this earthy brown shade offers something we're all craving: stability.
The name isn't random, either. By calling it Mocha Mousse instead of just "warm brown," Pantone taps into our collective sweet spot—that feeling of sinking into something deliciously comforting. It's a natural evolution from their previous pick, Peach Fuzz, but with deeper roots.
In an era where everything feels filtered and curated to death, this shade stands out precisely because it doesn't try to. And unlike some past picks that had everyone scratching their heads, Mocha Mousse plays well with others. It's a foundational shade that crosses gender and design boundaries, as comfortable in a minimalist apartment as it is in a cozy cabin.
So next time someone asks why everything suddenly looks like your favorite coffee order, you'll know it's Pantone's way of serving up a sweet dollop of calm in a world that could definitely use an extra helping.
Since we love a rich mocha moment, we simply must include our pets in on the fun. Take a look at some pup products that have us craving the year's coolest coffee color.
