Pantone has unveiled five curated core colour palettes featuring Mocha Mousse, each thoughtfully designed to complement a variety of styles and design purposes.

We’ve highlighted a couple of our favourites to show how Mocha Mousse can effortlessly transform any space. Whether you’re looking to create a calm, tonal retreat or an inviting room with a rich and layered aesthetic, these palettes provide the perfect foundation for your creative vision.
Pantone Palette 1: “RELAXED ELEGANCE”
If you prefer a minimalist approach to colour, this palette is perfect for you! Anchored in warm neutrals, it provides a timeless and versatile foundation with limitless design possibilities.
“Revel in your own special moments. Imbued with a sensorial richness, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse inspires us to curate experiences that boost personal comfort and wellness. From sweet treats to nature walks, the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can also gift and share with others.”
Pantone Palette 2: “FLORAL PATHWAYS”
If you’re drawn to soft shades of spring and enjoy blending muted colours with a touch of rich brown, this delightful palette is made for you!
“A cornucopia of suggestively scented floral tones, blended with a soft mocha and a shaded willow green, leads us down a cobblestone path.”
3. Pantone: Collaborations
With exclusive partnerships including Spoonflower, society6 and JOYBIRD, Pantone makes it simple and accessible to incorporate Mocha Mousse into your home through furniture, wallpaper, decor and accessories. Keep it simple with an art piece or indulge in this luxe brown sofa.
4. Inspiring Interiors
Embracing colour trends can be as simple as painting your walls or ceilings. Colour drenching makes a bold statement, with warm tones leading the way while cooler hues take a step back. For a textured, organic aesthetic, try limewash or plaster finishes, and balance them with lighter tones in smaller or dimly lit spaces.
Add warmth with wallpaper in a bedroom or bathroom, or use tonal tiles or luxurious slabs in kitchens and baths. Enhance the richness and depth of these tones with layered lighting, creating a sophisticated, inviting atmosphere.
5. Inspiring Furniture
Embrace the warmth of mocha tones with subtle touches like furniture and rugs. Incorporate textures such as leather, velvet, linen, or wood, and add patterns through marble or tile. An upholstered headboard or statement rug can effortlessly bring this rich hue into your space.
Elevate the look by mixing in metallic accents or reflective materials to introduce a touch of quiet luxury—a timeless trend that continues to shine. These elements add shimmer and dimension, enhancing the depth and sophistication of your design.
Companies like JOYBIRD have introduced exclusive Pantone-inspired furniture collections, allowing you to effortlessly bring the official Colour of the Year into your home. These pieces are designed to celebrate the hue’s versatility and style, making it easy to incorporate this trending shade into your living spaces with a touch of sophistication and flair.
6. Inspiring Decor & Accessories
For a subtle refresh in 2025, consider incorporating mocha mousse-inspired decor, florals, art, accessories, curtains, and lighting into your space. These small yet impactful updates make it easy to embrace the trend while maintaining the essence of your existing design. Mocha Mousse blends beautifully with tonal or earth-toned palettes, adding a sense of depth, harmony, and understated elegance.
The true beauty of this year’s Colour of the Year lies in its remarkable ability to bring warmth, richness, and sophistication to any interior style. Its timeless charm ensures it remains a versatile choice for spaces of all kinds, offering a grounded yet luxurious aesthetic.
Each year, Pantone’s Colour of the Year brings fresh inspiration, and this year’s captivating hue is no exception.
