Last night, Pantone held its Color of the Year event in downtown New York City. The glamorous Altman Building housed items from official Pantone partnerships (including some fancy mocha cocktails, of course) — all inspired by Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse. One color expert tells Us the hue is “rich” — and we couldn’t agree more!
Mocha Mousse is a warm, medium-brown tan with a dash of pink undertones. The demure hue is right in line with recent fashion trends like quiet luxury and rich mom-looking neutrals. And of course, the creamy hue is evocative of an indulgent dessert. We expect to see slew of clothing, accessories and home decor in the winning shade, and right now, you can add Mocha Mousse to your wardrobe in the form of sweaters, coats and even joggers. Scroll on for some Pantone-inspired picks to add to your winter wardrobe.
