Mocha Mousse is the colour of 2025.
Selected by the Pantone Color Institute, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is billed as a brown hue that’s ‘imbued with richness.’ Think: a delicious cup of coffee with a splash of milk.
The colour “expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence” while also being “sophisticated and lush,” according to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the colour institute.
In honour of the colour of the year, we rounded up a few favourite mocha mousse-inspired fashion and beauty finds:
ILIA Beauty Eye Stylus
Vancouver-founded beauty brand ILIA has launched its first eyeshadow stick. The long-wearing product is billed as vegan and cruelty free, waterproof, sweatproof and crease-resistant. Plus, the Eye Stylus Shadow Stick is available in a sweet selection of 20 different hues.
“I’m thrilled about the launch of Eye Stylus, which marries the luminous colours of Renaissance art with modern makeup innovation,” says ILIA Beauty founder Sasha Plavsic. “This launch marks a pivotal moment where clean eyeshadow meets performance, and we’re excited to share it with the world.”
