Pantone 2025
Mocha Mousse
The Pantone Colour of the Year for 2024 was the perfect Peach Fuzz. A colour the brand described as velvety and gentle - a shade of peach that signified warmth as it nurtured and embraced everything it touched.
Alongside the New Year always comes a new Colour of the Year and 2025 sees the emergence of the rich and sumptuous Mocha Mousse. It's perhaps immediately noticeable as an extension of 2024s Peach Fuzz in its warmth and palette but the 26th member of the iconic club feels more about comfort and sumptuousness. Welcome Mocha Mousse!

When the Pantone Colour of the Year is announced there's often a look back over the previous months to discover what led to the crowning. The shade is often found woven into the fabric of our lives but it's the creatives at Pantone that pull those threads loose to show us just how much of the shade we've already been blessed with.
Mocha Mousse like all 25 shades that came before;
is not just a colour.
Leatrice Eiseman (Executive Director of the Pantone Institute) describes Mocha Mousse as "Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe." Found in the latest fashions, trending beauty, statement homewear and more, the shade has endless depth that reflects the indulgence of its name.
A sweet lovers dream and a fashionistas perfect palette.
If there was to only be one brand that encompasses Mocha Mousse and its relations there's no doubt that Max Mara holds that crown. The brand shines as one that's recognisable no matter the season and that's primarily because of its dedication to its core values. You will always find classic camels and browns woven throughout their collections and so with the announcement of Colour of the Year, perhaps Max Mara find itself in more wardrobes than ever. Suiting, outerwear, accessories and even basics - the brand has it all when it comes to the reinvention of taupe.

When it comes to beauty and the Colour of the Year there tends to be a starl divide between the shades that offer themselves up to most peoples colour palettes and makeup bags and the shades that could be classed as a little, well; avant garde perhaps? 2025 sees Mocha Mousse enter the former camp and that means our favourite beauty brands are innundated with products that we're going to adore adding to our beauty bag. From adding a chocolate shade into your next manicure request to deepening those lips to something a little richer, brands like Vieve and Bare Minerals have quite literally got us covered.

For some Mocha Mousse may not feel at home in makeup bags or closets but it may well feel at home in... the home. The indulgent colour is really a wonderful choice for any decorative accents you might want to add to your living room, ideal for cosying up in a sumptuous robe while the weather's still cold and even adding into your dog walks with an on trend pet coat. A look into lifestyle pieces that incompass any Colour of the Year is the ideal way to see just how far the colour reaches, even if we hadn't realised it quite yet.
