The arbiter of colour trending worldwide, Pantone has named its colour of the year for 2025 as Mocha Mousse. While we are well versed in the current vogue for all things brunette when it comes to hair colour, this announcement confirms that globally, we’re in the grip of a soft mid brown obsession! In a statement published Thursday, Pantone says, Mocha Mousse is “a mellow brown infused with a sensorial and comforting warmth.
“A warming rich brown hue, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse nurtures with its suggestion of the delectable quality of cacao, chocolate and coffee, appealing to our desire for comfort,” it added.
Andrew Smith on Mocha Mousse
First to land in our inboxes with a comment, hairdresser Andrew Smith picks up the commentary.
“I totally welcome these über-versatile tones as I feel they are achievable for the majority. I love the richness which has an elegant warming affect that connects well to nature with an earthy feel . Just like with our coffee drinks we can add more cream to subdued the strength or we can add more chocolate for a warmer more vibrant flavour. I see ‘mocha mousse’ being everywhere this year and once again milk_shake had predicted this trend with their launch of mocha tones within their portfolio recently.”
Enjoy, savour and champion the Mocha Mousse taste. Your clients are already on board!
