Each year, the announcement of Pantoneâs Color of the Year captures global attention, setting the tone for trends in design, fashion, and culture. For 2025, Pantone introduced "17-1230 Mocha Mousse," a soft, warm, and inviting shade, meant to evoke feelings of comfort and subtle sophistication.However, 2025 is not a year of comfort for many. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza has starkly contrasted with this serene narrative. During a devastating conflict, the dominant hues in Gazaâs landscapeâdusty browns from rubble, deep tones of suffering and despairâcoincidentally align with the softness of Mocha Mousse but carry a harrowing story. This disconnect inspired us to reclaim the narrative, using the global spotlight of Pantoneâs announcement to refocus attention on the urgent realities of Gaza.
