Since 1999, the Pantone Colour Institute has set the colour trends for the following year in consumer fashion and design by carefully selecting a unique shade that not only reflects the collective aspirations and attitudes of the world, but also leads the way.
This colour choice deeply reflects the ongoing quest for harmony in our time. As the name suggests, it is a typical ‘taste colour’. Imagine a rich cup of hot cocoa, a piece of chocolate melting on your tongue or a piece of chocolate mousse cake - that's the warm and intimate feeling of the Pantone Colour of the Year 2025.
For the masses, Mocha Mousse is a lifestyle colour that can be easily managed. It can be seen in a silky winter cashmere coat, or attached to a stiff leather handbag and boots for a subtle sense of sophistication.
In the home, it can be incorporated into walls, ornaments, carpets, sofas and curtains, becoming a touch of accessible elegance and a warm companion for everyday life.
The low-saturation Mocha Mousse colour can be incorporated into packaging design or visual communication, as it is a subtle and delicate colour that exudes the naturalness and premium quality that brands seek.
The soft mocha mousse colour is naturally intimate, and spaces painted with it are calm and serene. Taken from the soil, gravel and tree trunks of the natural environment, it is a down-to-earth, rustic, wilderness colour that feels familiar and safe, and quickly fills a space with warmth and softness.
As a colour with ‘organic characteristics’, Mocha Mousse can be used with natural materials in the space, such as wood, rattan and grass, cotton and linen, etc., to form a warm and healing landscape, showing a kind of natural care for the emotions.
