Mocha Mousse: The Year of Deliciousness
Pantone® has declared Mocha Mousse the 2025 Color of the Year, and the foodservice world is here for it.
Quick Bite
Described as subtle and delicious, Mocha Mousse is a color geared toward relaxation. For the restaurant world, this color reflects an upscale but no-fuss approach—think long conversations at your tables while your guests sip coffee and share a chocolatey dessert.
Beyond adding a mocha mousse to your menu, there are plenty of ways your restaurant can incorporate the color and its core vibes. Warm, brown hues can set the tone of your tabletop through tablecloths and napkins. This color palette lends itself well to cream-colored plates, platters, and bowls, and pairs nicely with light grays and deep oranges, which are perfect accents for those that love to mix-and-match their dinnerware.
With last year’s Pantone®-selected colors Peach Fuzz and Butter Yellow finding their way into fashion stylings and social media trends, we can expect Mocha Mousse to have a similar impact. For a subtle way to invite guests to stay longer and relish their meal just a little bit more, this year’s color can be just the ticket.
Food for Thought
More than a color, Mocha Mousse sends an energy that compliments the rising consumer interest in offline experiences and longer, more relaxing restaurant stays.
How often does your foodservice operation rethink its color palette—could Mocha Mousse be the one to reflect your values to your customers?
