Move over greige — there’s a new neutral in town.
Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse, and honestly, we’re obsessed. Think rich cacao, morning espresso, and that perfectly frothed cappuccino swirl — it’s the colour equivalent of a deep breath and a slow sip. Grounding, warm, and quietly confident.
But don’t let its mellow mood fool you — Mocha Mousse is no wallflower. This colour brings depth, sophistication, and just enough drama to make your office space feel considered without trying too hard.
Why We’re Here for It
In a world still craving comfort, Mocha Mousse delivers. It’s the design version of hygge — soothing yet elevated, understated but impactful. It pairs beautifully with natural finishes, soft textiles, and subtle contrasts (we’re looking at you, terracotta, brushed brass and soft black).
Whether you're designing a boardroom, breakout nook, or reception space — Mocha Mousse says:“We’ve got great taste… but we’re also great to work with.”
💡 How to Work It Into Your Workspace
On the walls: Swap out cool greys or stark whites for something softer and earthier. Mocha Mousse is perfect as a feature wall or full wrap — it brings intimacy to large open-plan areas.
In your furniture: Upholstered meeting booths, low-slung modular sofas, or soft seating in this tone will instantly feel luxe.
Through accents: Add mocha-toned acoustic panels, cabinetry fronts, or even powder-coated steel legs for a subtle nod to the trend.
With texture: This colour loves tactile finishes — think felt, boucle, timber grain, or matte powder coat.
Mood Pairings
We love Mocha Mousse teamed with:
Soft white (think Eazi Quartz Pure White)
Storm grey (like our favourite Melawood finish)
Desaturated greens and warm neutrals
Black — for bold contrast that still feels sophisticated
