For the year 2025, the Pantone Color Institute unveils PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a soft, warm hue that embodies a return to comfort and simple pleasures. Elegant and down-to-earth, this universal color is a source of inspiration for decoration, beauty, fashion and the art of living. Through its rich, enveloping nuances, Mocha Mousse symbolizes a quest for harmony and serenity in a world where well-being and connection are essential.
Decoration – A comforting brown
Mocha Mousse is an ideal shade for transforming our interiors into havens of peace. It lends itself perfectly to minimalist palettes, adding warm depth while blending harmoniously with brighter or more neutral tones. Applied to walls, it creates a cocooning ambience in living rooms and bedrooms, while in furniture or textiles, it warms spaces without weighing them down. Cushions, plaids and rugs in natural materials such as wool or linen sublimated by this hue are this season’s must-haves.
Beauty – natural earth tones
In the field of beauty, Mocha Mousse evokes a natural, sophisticated aesthetic. In make-up, it can be used on eyelids for a soft, smoky look, or in lipstick for an elegant matte finish. Nail polishes also adopt this shade for a timeless look. On the skincare side, this color is reminiscent of natural ingredients such as cocoa or clay, reflecting a trend towards products that respect the skin and the environment.
Mode – a color for timelessness
On the catwalk, Mocha Mousse is establishing itself as a versatile, timeless color. It enhances must-have pieces such as trench coats, wool pants and cashmere sweaters, adding a chic yet casual touch. Worn as a total look or paired with brighter hues such as cream, moss green or deep blue, it embodies contemporary elegance. Accessories, including bags and shoes, also adopt this hue for sophisticated everyday style.
