Colour of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse
The Future of Beauty
Each year, the Pantone Colour Institute selects a shade that defines the creative and cultural landscape, influencing industries from fashion to interior design, and of course, cosmetics. For 2025, Pantone has unveiled Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230), a warm, comforting brown hue reminiscent of rich cocoa and earthy tones. This colour encapsulates the growing appreciation for warmth, simplicity, and nature in beauty and lifestyle choices.
In the realm of cosmetics, Mocha Mousse is a highly versatile and sophisticated shade. It’s earthy warmth suits a wide range of skin tones, making it an excellent choice for lipsticks, eyeshadows, bronzers, and even highlighters.
