Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse

This year, Pantone has gifted us with the cozy, rich embrace of Mocha Mousse as their Color of the Year—a shade that feels like the perfect mix of timeless sophistication and modern warmth. Here at D2 Studio & Co. and STYLE Nation, we’re thrilled because this stunning hue feels tailor-made for the kind of style we celebrate every day: bold, chic, and endlessly versatile.

Manifesting Mocha Mousse

At this year’s Swatched Las Vegas competition, my moodboard happened to feature none other than Mocha Mousse itself, paired with sleek neutrals and textures that brought out its depth and beauty. It was a winning combination that not only earned me second place but also feels like a sign that we either manifested this color—or we were just ahead of the game! 😉

Mocha Mousse is one of my favorite Pantone Color of the Year selections in recent memory because of its incredible versatility. It can ground a room like a classic neutral while adding an earthy sophistication that never feels flat. Whether used as a backdrop or a bold accent, it’s the kind of color that can bring warmth and depth to any space or design.

Why Mocha Mousse is a STYLE Brand Fit

Mocha Mousse embodies everything we love about great design. It’s warm yet bold, classic yet contemporary. This is the kind of hue that works just as beautifully on a statement wall as it does in a cozy throw, luxurious fabric, or even fashion. Its adaptability is something that we can “incorporate in our lives everyday”! 😉

How to Incorporate Mocha Mousse into Your 2025

In Your Home

  • Statement Walls: Use Mocha Mousse to create a feature wall in your living room or bedroom. Pair it with warm whites or deep greens for a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

  • Soft Furnishings: Look for Mocha Mousse in throw pillows, blankets, and curtains to add subtle sophistication without committing to a full overhaul.

  • Tabletop Elegance: Incorporate this color into your dinnerware or tablescapes with earthy ceramics, napkins, or candles for a chic, grounded look.

In Your Creative Projects

Mood Boards & Designs: Just like we did at Swatched Las Vegas, Mocha Mousse makes a rich and versatile addition to any creative concept. Its warm tone pairs beautifully with metallics, soft pastels, and deeper jewel tones.

Office Aesthetic: Add Mocha Mousse to your workspace through a desk chair, stationery, or even a mouse pad to keep your space feeling calm yet inspiring.

Mocha Mousse is more than just a color; it’s a mood. It’s about slowing down, finding balance, and creating warmth in every part of your life. Whether you go bold or use it as a subtle accent, this hue is the perfect way to refresh your world and embrace the year ahead in STYLE.
