It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I know I could really use a little levity this holiday season and I found something to make fun of.
“Mocha Mousse” is the Pantone color of the year for 2025. All I can say is let’s not go overboard with it. I don’t want to see entire rooms painted in it. While it isn’t as depressing as grey it is dark and doesn’t inspire me.
I am inspired by the name of the color. If you have ever looked at paint sample cards the way colors are named is often more inspiring the colors. For instance, my office is painted in a beige grey, but the name of the color is “balboa mist”. The color is easy to work with and it goes with everything. It fades into the background as a good paint color should.
