Colors of the Year 2025

Test your color name knowledge. Each answer is a 2024 color of the year.

 

Pantone’s color of the year has been called “rich” and “chocolatey,” as well as “sad beige” and “misery pudding.”

Even if you’re on the fence about Mocha Mousse, it’s not hard to visualize the color.

Same with Hammered Black, Krylon’s color of the year, and Igloo, part of Dunn-Edwards’ 2025 color and design trends palette.

Other colors of the year stretch the imagination.

Is Rosepine more rose or pine? How pale is Tissue Pink? Is Chowning's Tan a nod to a tavern in Colonial Williamsburg or the godfather of digital pop?

Test your color naming skills by matching the paint to the creative name, each a 2025 color of the year. Check out last year's quiz here.
