Mocha Mousse has arrived! A new year often signals new beginnings and what better way to celebrate than reveling in the  Pantone Color of the Year 2025 announcement. Each year, the color scientists at Pantone engage the design community to choose one color that captures the cultural zeitgeist. Mocha Mousse has met the moment–the mellow brown hue has an understated richness inspired by simple pleasures that bring us comfort. A walk through the woods, a cup of coffee, or chocolate indulgence…Mocha Mousse envelopes us in a sense of calm contentment. Feeling inspired? Here are three ways to execute the color trend.

2. Layer Throughout: If color drenching seems too intense, scale it back and integrate layers of Mocha Mousse throughout your space. What goes better with coffee than cream? Balance out the warm brown accents with a cream color palette.
