Just what is the Pantone Color of the Year? Here’s what the experts at Pantone have to say:

“The Pantone Color of the Year program engages the design community and color enthusiasts in a conversation around color, highlighting the relationship between color and culture. Pantone selects a color each year that captures the global zeitgeist—the Color of the Year expresses a global mood and an attitude, reflecting collective desire in the form of a single, distinct hue.”

Grey has been the color king for years, but we’ve seen the pendulum swing the other direction with warmer shades and richer color qualities, so it comes as no surprise that Pantone selected this delicious shade. Of course, we adore all colors and neutrals and are always excited to come up with interesting pairings, no matter what colors you already have in place. If you’re feeling inspired to work Mocha Mousse into your surroundings, give us a call at The Black Goose Design and make an appointment with one of our designers to explore your options.
