Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2025 is Mocha Mousse, a creamy brown the institution describes as “imbued with richness.” While 2024 celebrated deep chocolate brown as a colour trend, Mocha Mousse offers a lighter, more approachable take of fashion’s love affair with the neutral hue—the medium brown hue effortlessly integrates into any wardrobe, serving as a softer, seasonless alternative to black or dark brown. Its versatility shines year-round, making it a natural choice for timeless design.
For a stylish way to embrace this colour on your wrists, look to bronze dials and brown straps—classic, wearable, and sophisticated, they offer the perfect wristwear answer to a colour that’s grounded yet luxurious.
