Brown is in. Pantone naming Mocha Mousse the 2025 Color of the Year confirmed what designers had been spec'ing for two years already — a return to warm, grounded earth tones after a decade of cool greys. The family runs from milky lattes (light, near-cream) through mid-tone taupes and mochas to deep espresso and cocoa at the saturated end.
The most-spec'd brown from PPG / Glidden — the one that anchors most designer roundups in this family.
