Color plays a much larger role in our lives than many people realize. From the clothes we wear to the cars we drive, color is involved, and the trends each year are usually determined by one group of people: the experts at the Pantone Color Institute. Every year they select a Color of the Year, which is both determined by trends and a shaper of them. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions here in Stuart, Florida, we love to help our customers understand color, how it trends, and whether it’s right for them. Meet this year’s color below, and be sure to speak with one of our representatives for more on your particular situation.
What Color Tells Us
“The Pantone Color of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that color can hope to answer,” said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute. Color is not a designer’s whim. Color trends come from where we are, where we want to go, and how people are feeling or not feeling. For example, when we see younger criminals and attacks on countries and air travel, we are afraid and popular color becomes lighter, softer, and safer. “As people look for ways to fortify themselves with energy, clarity, and hope to overcome the continuing uncertainty, spirited and emboldening shades satisfy our quest for vitality.”
2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse
With tones reminiscent of both chocolate and coffee, Mocha Mousse is a “warming brown hue imbued with richness” that elicits a feeling of simple pleasures. Leatrice Eastman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, notes that the color “extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.” Mocha Mousse, with “a subtle elegance and sensorial richness…empowers you to create moments of luxury that may be intimate in scale but can extend a sense of indulgence throughout the day.”
Using Mocha Mousse in the Home
Before you know it, you’ll find this shade everywhere, in anything from décor to kitchenware to clothing. If this color speaks to you, you can add it in bold ways through wall paint, in accessories, or even in your window fashions. With its “earthy refinement,” Mocha Mousse presents a versatile foundation that is easily complemented. Excellent matches include floral colors like violet, rose tan, and willow green, as well as earthy tones like cream, tan, and amber. Hunter Douglas offers a variety of items that will complement or even carry the color, especially Designer Roller Shades, screen shades, Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, and Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades.
