Mocha Mousse is the shade chosen by Pantone as the color of the year for 2025. A soft brown with creamy undertones, it will be a trend-setter thanks to its ability to evoke warmth, sophistication and naturalness.
According to the company specialized in chromatic ranges, 17-1230 Mocha Mousse “is sophisticated and exuberant, but at the same time an unpretentious classic”. Inspired by coffee and chocolate, its influence can be seen in sectors as diverse as fashion, design and interior design, being particularly suitable for creating cozy and elegant spaces in any type of project.
Mocha Mousse is a versatile color that can be used as a base or accent. Its neutrality allows it to be easily integrated into different decorative styles, from classic to modern. This light brown shade works exceptionally well on walls, furniture and textiles.
1. On walls: by painting the walls with Mocha Mousse or using surfaces in that chromatic range such as Fitwall® Mattoni Ecru, we will create a feeling of warmth and tranquility. This color is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms or studios.
2. In textiles: Pillows, blankets and curtains in this tone generate a harmonious and balanced atmosphere.
3. In furniture: sofas, chairs and tables with this finish add a sophisticated touch without being too imposing.
We must also take into account the impact of lighting on color perception. In this sense, Mocha Mousse responds well to both natural and artificial light. We simply have to know how to use it to achieve the result we are looking for. For example, using a warm temperature will enhance its cozy tone, which is ideal for bedrooms and living rooms. On the contrary, a cold light will provide a modern and elegant contrast, perfect for offices or kitchens.
One of the great virtues of Mocha Mousse is its ability to combine with a wide range of colors. Depending on the desired effect, we can achieve striking contrasts or maintain a monochromatic palette.
Mixing it with earth tones, such as beige, terracotta and sand, we will obtain a natural and organic style. A perfect composition for rustic or bohemian interiors. Similarly, if we choose to unite it with cold tones, such as grayish blue, sage green or pearl gray, we will generate a more modern and relaxing look.
Metallic tones (gold, bronze and copper) enhance the sophistication of Mocha Mousse, adding a glamorous touch. Likewise, vibrant colors (mustard, coral or turquoise) can create interesting and energetic contrasts.
The way Mocha Mousse is combined with materials and textures can transform a space. For example, this color perfectly complements wood tones from oak to walnut. This makes it easier to introduce in rooms with dark parquets such as Classic Ebano Luxor by L’Antic Colonial or light porcelain tiles such as PAR-KER® Gent Arce by Porcelanosa.
In metals, gold and copper highlight their sophistication, while stainless steel gives a modern touch. Similarly, the use of Mocha Mousse in soft textiles such as linens, cottons and velvets enhances its warmth.
On the opposite side, light natural stones such as Persian White marble or Horus Beige limestone, both from L’Antic Colonial, contrast perfectly with the color of the year 2025.
This shade is capable of adapting to various decorative styles. Here are some examples:
The particularities of Mocha Mousse facilitate the use of this color in any type of project. The different rooms of a home and even retail and contract spaces can benefit from its versatility. Here are some examples of how to introduce it.

Pantone Mocha Mousse fits perfectly in a living room as it helps to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. By using it on a main wall, we will define the design of the space. Similarly, we can incorporate decorative details, such as cushions or rugs, in this color to complement furniture in neutral tones.
Suggestion: adding details in natural wood and metals will achieve a balanced finish.
The hue of the year 2025 is an excellent choice for making the bathroom a cozy retreat. It can be applied on walls, creating an enveloping and pleasant effect, or on specific elements such as the Oxo Finish Studio freestanding bathtub, adding a distinctive touch.
Suggestion: for a more modern style, pair it with white or light gray surfaces such as XTONE Astana Grey.
This color invites to rest and relaxation. Two basic aspects that bedrooms should convey. By integrating it into the bedding, we will add warmth; while some accessories, such as lamps and photo frames in complementary tones, will highlight its beauty.
Suggestion: combine with olive green and beige for a more natural ambiance, or with dark gray for a more modern line.
Although not very widespread, Mocha Mousse can be used in these rooms with the objective of generating a sophisticated atmosphere. By using it in the cabinets, we will obtain a clean and elegant finish. In turn, accessories such as tablecloths, napkins or tableware in this color, give a refined touch.
Tip: off-white and some copper details will enhance the effect of sophistication.

Mocha Mousse is a color that encourages concentration and helps create a calm atmosphere. We can integrate it into a workspace by choosing a desk in this shade or incorporating it into details such as organizers. In addition, an accent wall painted in Mocha Mousse is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Suggestion: navy blue or gray are perfect for a more professional contrast.
Pantone Mocha Mousse is an excellent choice for inclusion in business areas thanks to its ability to convey calm and sophistication. In retail spaces, this shade can be used on walls or furniture to achieve a cozy atmosphere that invites customers to visit the establishment with peace of mind. In contract environments, such as offices and hotels, Mocha Mousse contributes to establishing a serene and professional atmosphere, ideal for promoting productivity and well-being.
Suggestion: merge with light neutral tones such as sand beige or light gray, producing a soft and refined contrast.
After the in 2024 and Viva Magenta in 2023, the Pantone Color Institute’s choice of Mocha Mousse as color of the year 2025 is full of symbolism. It is a shade with a clear reference to the natural world. In this way, we link the color range to sustainability and respect for the environment.
In addition, this color appeals to personal well-being, highlighting the sensations of warmth, comfort and relaxation. Three essential aspects to take into account in the search for the balance so necessary in today’s times.
As for its more functional side, its versatility and ease of combination with other colors make Mocha Mousse an essential alternative in the interior design of any project. An elegant and timeless option capable of reinventing any environment.
