The Color of 2025: PANTONE’s Mocha Mousse

PANTONE has officially unveiled the color of 2025: Mocha Mousse. Described as a shade with “sensorial warmth,” PANTONE calls it a “trend-led fashion color and a neutral rolled into one.” It’s a comforting brown that aims to bring harmony to an ever-changing world. 

The description is certainly enticing. Mocha Mousse evokes feelings of luxury and indulgence, encouraging us to create moments of personal retreat. With its notes of cacao, chocolate, and coffee, this rich hue offers a daily dose of quiet opulence. It’s a color designed to accompany you during “me moments”—those intimate slices of time where you can pause, breathe, and reset.

 

But not everyone is convinced. Some online critics liken the shade to watered-down coffee. After 2024’s playful Peach Fuzz, Mocha Mousse feels, to some, like a step back. One particularly memorable comment remarked, “PANTONE must’ve sat down, stared into the bleak chasm of 2025, and thought, ‘You know what? Forget about hope.’” Ouch.

In the world of interior design, we’re inclined to agree—at least partially. While Mocha Mousse works beautifully in fashion, it’s not the most inspiring choice for interior spaces. It’s a bit too safe, a little too subdued. We’re firm believers that interior design should spark curiosity, playfulness, and individuality. Instead of surrendering to the status quo, why not embrace a color that’s as dynamic as you are?

If you’re looking for that same sense of sensorial warmth—but with more personality—we’ve got a few suggestions. If you’re thinking about a home update, our renter-friendly tiles with customizable tile designs are the easiest, yet high-end option. These affordable DIY renovation ideas make it easy to transform your space without permanent changes.

 

Sensory Alternatives to Mocha Mousse

1. Moroccan Poetry

Warm, inviting, and full of life, Moroccan Poetry draws inspiration from clay and sun-drenched deserts. This shade adds a subtle hint of the exotic while maintaining that earthy, grounding quality. If you’re drawn to rich, natural hues, Moroccan Poetry is a perfect fit for both walls and accent tiles. Pair it with customizable tile designs to create a look that’s uniquely yours.

 

2. Plump It Up

If you’re looking for depth and drama, Plump It Up delivers. This deep, velvety shade carries an air of mystery, making it ideal for feature walls, statement furniture, or bold accents. It’s a sophisticated alternative to black or other muted dark tones. Imagine pairing this shade with Click’n Tile options for an accent wall that’s as moody as it is elegant.

3. Granny’s Lips

Playful, elegant, and effortlessly charming, Granny’s Lips offers the same level of subtlety as Mocha Mousse but with a twist. This powdery pink hue brings softness and romance to any space, perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or cozy reading nooks. The sheer beauty of this color is amplified when used on renter-friendly tiles, allowing you to add a splash of personality to your home without long-term commitments.

 

Final Thoughts

While PANTONE’s Mocha Mousse may not be everyone’s cup of (watered-down) coffee, it does offer a sense of comfort and calm. But if comfort is what you’re after, why settle for subtle when you can have stunning? Our recommended shades—Moroccan Poetry, Plump It Up, and Granny’s Lips—deliver all the warmth and richness of Mocha Mousse, but with added depth, energy, and charm.

And if you’re inspired to bring any of these shades into your home, remember that affordable DIY renovation is easier than ever with renter-friendly Click’n Tile tile systems and customizable tile designs. These modern solutions make it simple to infuse your home with personality—without major renovations. After all, your space should feel as unique as you are.
