Being excited about the annual Color of the Year drop is a tradition — something simple yet unifying (or potentially polarizing, like peach!). Still, when Pantone shared 2025’s selection, it was collectively. . . comforting. Mocha Mousse nailed luxe, rich decadence and as we dive into the trend wholeheartedly, we’re inspired to shop last-minute gifts for loved ones that pay homage to the specific brown shade.
“Mocha Mousse is an evocative soft brown that transports our senses into the pleasure and deliciousness it inspires,” Pantone said of its latest pick. “A warming rich brown hue, Mocha Mousse nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort.”
