Spring is such an amazing time! It's all about new beginnings and feeling refreshed. We can take this time to rejuvenate ourselves and start anew. And did you know that paint companies like Behr, Benjamin Moore, Glidden and even Pantone are always researching how colors can affect our mood? How cool is that? This year Pantone has selected Mocha Mousse as the chosen color for 2025. Why that color you may ask?. Let’s see why.

Why Mocha Mousse Stands Out This Spring
Pantone’s process for selecting the Color of the Year is thorough and reflects global trends. For 2025, the Pantone Color Institute has chosen Mocha Mousse (17-1230), a warm and rich brown shade. Its warm brown tones, inspired by rich soil and natural textures, offer a timeless yet modern appeal. This versatile shade works well in spring fashion, from coats to accessories, and adds cozy warmth to interior design. Even in tech and lifestyle products, it brings a touch of sophistication, proving Pantone’s impact on trends across industries.A Sophisticated Neutral for a Fresh, Green Season
Mocha Mousse is a vibrant, earthy brown that symbolizes a growing emphasis on sustainability, harmony, and balance. This tone evokes a sense of groundedness and invites a connection with nature. In addition to providing countless opportunities to refresh your life, this rich neutral is perfect for eco-friendly design and mindful living, making it ideal for the season of renewal. It brings a timeless elegance that enhances any setting, whether in home decor, fashion, or personal accessories. Here are some sustainable ways to incorporate this sophisticated color into your life this spring!- Sustainably Chic: Accessorize with Mocha Mousse for an Elevated Look
Incorporate Mocha Mousse into your daily style with sustainably sourced accessories. Choose leather alternatives or pieces made from recycled materials for bags, shoes, and belts. Thrift sunglasses or watches in this elegant hue to effortlessly enhance your outfits while staying-on-trend. For jewelry, select brands that prioritize ethical practices and use recycled metals to minimize waste. It’s a simple, eco-friendly way to refresh your spring look without the need for a complete overhaul.- Go Green with a Touch of Mocha Mousse Home Improvements!
Use conscious ways to integrate Mocha Mousse into your living areas, like using non-toxic paints for an accent wall or selecting repurposed furniture and/or decor in this deep shade. To finish the appearance, add natural materials like repurposed wood, as well as sustainable textiles like organic cotton throw cushions or rugs. Pair it with pastel curtains or colorful pillows that you may also get at second-hand stores to keep it in season and in style. ![]() |

To celebrate the season, pair the look with fresh, spring-inspired touches like thrifted vases of blooming flowers or pastel-colored accessories for a bright, cheerful vibe.
