Stationery in Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025

As each year draws to an end, Pantone reveals its much-anticipated Color of the Year, setting the tone for design and creativity in the months ahead. This past December was no exception, and 2025’s chosen hue is already making waves. Join us as we explore this year’s standout shade and share some stunning matching stationery picks.

What is the Pantone Color of the Year?

Pantone’s Color of the Year tradition began with the new millennium when Cerulean was named the defining shade of 2000.

Each year since, a panel of experts has analysed global trends, cultural shifts, and emerging influences. They use this data to select a colour that reflects the mood of the coming year. The result is more than a shade — it’s a visual snapshot of the world’s collective energy and aspirations.

Designers, creatives, and colour enthusiasts worldwide await the annual announcement with anticipation.

For 2025, Pantone unveiled PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse as its Color of the Year.

What colour is Pantone’s Mocha Mousse?

PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is a rich, inviting hue. It has warmth and timeless sophistication. The Pantone Color Institute says it’s a shade that “nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.”

Hugo Boss Gear Icon fountain pen in Camel

The Hugo Boss Gear Icon fountain pen has a sleek, modern silhouette. Its Camel brown finish adds a warm touch and the result is a writing instrument that feels timeless.

Despite its designer pedigree, this pen is affordable. It combines innovative design, premium craftsmanship, and a beautiful glossy lacquer finish. The pen works with international-size fountain pen ink cartridges, making refills easy and enabling users to explore ink colours.

If fountain pens aren’t your favourite pen type, the Gear Icon in Camel is also available as a rollerball and ballpoint pen, ensuring every writer has an option.

Graf von Faber-Castell fountain pen ink in Hazelnut Brown

Graf von Faber-Castell’s fountain pen ink is a premium product. It comes in an elegant 75 ml fluted glass bottle with a built-in ink recess. This design helps you use every last drop.

The high-performance ink is indelible, smudge-resistant, reproducible, and lightfast, ensuring long-lasting, archival-quality writing. It also provides great water resistance — the ink might run if it gets very wet, but your writing should remain clear.

The expertly blended formula provides a smooth, almost instant flow, even if you’ve left your fountain pen unused for some time. And the Hazelnut Brown shade, inspired by nature, is a stunning match for Pantone’s Mocha Mousse.
