The Pantone Color of the Year is a color selected annually by the Pantone Color Institute. It is selected to reflect the collective desires of society at a given moment through a single hue and it is used by many creatives to set the tone for their projects. The Pantone Color of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse (17-1230).
Mocha Mousse invites us to indulge in the comforting embrace of earthy tones that soothe the soul and enhance the space we inhabit. This versatile shade complements various palettes and styles, making it a perfect fit for those looking to bring nature’s grounding energy into their surroundings.
By using this hue as inspiration and through thoughtful design, we will show you four examples of how you can use natural stone, bricks, porcelain and concrete pavers to transform your indoor or outdoor space into a warm, inviting, and harmonious environment!
Interior Fireplace or Accent Wall
To create an environment that exudes comfort and relaxation, incorporate hints of Mocha Mousse through textiles, furniture, and accessories. When selecting a stone veneer, choose one rich in brown and burgundy tones, such as Amber Fall Stacked Stone Veneer. This will work in harmony with the mocha shades, enhancing the richness and creating a unified, cozy atmosphere.
Alternatively, you can create a striking contrast by choosing a stone veneer in a lighter color, such as Tuscan or Arctic Hewn. These neutral pallets of creamy whites and warm greys would be a perfect complement to tones like Mocha Mousse.
Outdoor Walkway, Patio, Pool Deck, or Driveway using Concrete Pavers & Porcelain Pavers
The beauty of the Mocha Mousse hue lies in its versatility; it provides the perfect balance between boldness and subtlety, allowing you to experiment with various design elements while maintaining a cohesive, sophisticated look.
Consider using pavers in warm ivories like Caffe Crema and Beige Cream, or copper tones like Sandalwood. Incorporate simple or intricate designs in colors such as Chocolate Brown or Chestnut Brown to create variety and depth.
3. Outdoor Patio using Natural Stone
A Mocha Mousse hue also pairs effortlessly with natural stone elements like granite, brownstone, or limestone. Natural stone adds texture, warmth, and can create a sense of tranquility and grounding.
To enhance your serene outdoor experience, incorporate more earthy tones like burnt sienna, umber, and sage green. Imagine the sense of calm you'd feel stepping out onto your natural stone patio and being surrounded by a lush green garden accented with terracotta pots.
4. Brick Mudrooms, Backsplashes, and Accent Features
The beauty of bricks is that they can showcase a rich tapestry of various colors and textures. Depending on the style you select, they can create a captivating, timeless look, cater to a cool, casual vibe, or appeal to a more rustic, historical aesthetic. To complement the warmth of Mocha Mousse, choose a red, brown, or burgundy brick.
A reddish brick will add a slight contrast without overpowering the warmth of the overall scheme. A brown brick will blend seamlessly with Mocha Mousse, adding a layer of texture and depth without competing with the base color. The burgundy brick will have a deeper, more intense tone that will add a sophisticated, slightly regal element to the palette.
