The Color of Luxury is Mocha Mousse, Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year

Audrey Miranda | Assistant Director of Marketing January 13th, 2025

Over 2,000 colors are cataloged by color experts at Pantone, a world organization that is referenced by graphic artists, interior designers, and many more! Mocha Mousse is the 2025 color of the year, a warming, indulgent, brown hue, evocative of chocolate and coffee. “Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

Trending on TikTok and Instagram is the “sweet little treat” trend – a common expression when treating yourself to a small indulgence, like a coffee or pastry and for rewarding yourself. This trend is essentially a form of self-care and enjoying small moments. The philosophy behind the 2025 color of the year aligns with much of the same reasoning – creating your own intimate moments of luxury that creates a sense of indulgence throughout the day.

This versatile shade is infused with inherent sophistication and earthy refinement and serves as a foundational tone for minimalist and richly decorated wardrobes.  With the rise of “quiet luxury” and minimalist brands, the focus has been redirected to core neutral shares in our wardrobes being the main attraction.  This foundational shade is seasonless, practical, versatile and can stand on its own. Many brands have on trend pieces in store, here are a few of our favorites available at Galleria Dallas.
