Global colour expert Pantone went all out earlier this month for the introduction of its colour for 2025, Mocha Mousse, by partnering with the London Eye to reveal the colour in a spectacular light show for everyone to enjoy.
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, explains Lee Eiseman, executive director, Pantone Colour Institute.
“Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” she says.
“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.
“Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, it presents a discrete and tasteful touch of glamour. A flavourful brown shade, Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.”
There is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Characterised by its organic nature, Mocha Mousse honours and embraces the sustenance of our physical environment. Imbued with authenticity it finds harmony and balance between the demands of modernity and the timeless beauty of artful creation, adds Eiseman.
“The everlasting search for harmony filters through into every aspect of our lives including our relationships, the work we do, our social connections and the natural environment that surrounds us.
“Harmony brings feelings of contentment, inspiring a positive state of inner peace, calm and balance as well as being tuned in with the world around us. Harmony embraces a culture of connection and unity as well as the synthesis of our mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing.
“With that in mind, for Pantone Colour of the Year 2025 we look to a colour that reaches into our desire for comfort and wellness and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others,” she says.

“Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, Mocha Mousse evokes a feeling of the comfort of home whether appearing on flooring or a painted wall, within home décor or in more natural materials including wood and stone, rattan and wicker, leather and linen.”
