Amanda’s Style File: Decadent Mocha Mousse
Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year takes the form of jewelry through gemstones and enamel that look just as delicious as mocha mousse.
This Amanda’s Style File harnesses Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, across 20 pieces. Seen here is a ring by Lord Jewelry featuring brown and white diamonds ($9,500).
Mousse is a dessert that can be rich or light, savory or sweet, dense or airy. It all comes down to the hands that prepare it.
Pantone has released the color of the year for 2025, and Mocha Mousse (Pantone 17-1230) has everyone talking.
At first glance, the brown shade could appear boring as a color. However, the more you see it, the more you realize how perfect it is as a choice.
Pantone said on its website that “It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.”
Mocha Mousse is delicious in the form of jewelry as well. Taking the form of champagne or brown diamonds, topaz, enamel, citrine, moonstone, pearls, brown leather, and much more, there are endless options to embrace the color of 2025!
