16 nail shades in Mocha Mousse: PANTONE’s Colour of the Year 2025

Mocha Mousse, a ‘mellow brown infused with a sensorial and comforting warmth’, is PANTONE’s Colour of the Year 2025.

The global colour authority selects a shade each year to aid colour critical decisions for brands and manufacturers.

“Underpinned by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded, to embrace the aspirational and luxe.

“Infused with subtle elegance and earthy refinement, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse presents a discreet and tasteful touch of glamour. A flavourful brown shade, Mocha Mousse envelopes us with its sensorial warmth.”

Mocha Mousse is an elegant and versatile hue, which lends itself to blending with a varied colour palette and serves as the perfect base layer for metallic gloss finishes.
