As the new year approaches, Pantone has also dropped its highly anticipated Colour of the Year (surprisingly, it's not anything like the brat green that filled our social media feeds last year). For 2025, the colour standards company has picked Mocha Mousse: A rich brown hue that brings to mind a medley of comforting things, most particularly the decadence of coffee and chocolate.

While possessing a similar nurturing quality to Peach Fuzz, which was 2024's Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse instils a deeper level of thoughtful indulgence. Reminiscent of personal comfort and wellness—from sweet treats to nature walks—the comforting hue reminds us to indulge in life's simple pleasures. Unlike the common association that brown represents humility, Mocha Mousse is imbued with a luxuriant richness that conveys a relaxed elegance.
