The new year is in full swing, which means a new shade has been named the Pantone Color of the Year 2025 – Mocha Mousse. Each year, the Color of the Year is chosen to, “express a global mood and attitude.” This year’s choice embodies our collective craving for comfort, conjuring up images of chocolate and coffee. Leatrice Eiseman, the Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, said it best:
Underpinned by our desire for every day pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse expresses a level of thoughtful indulgence. Sophisticated and lush, yet at the same time an unpretentious classic, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of the browns from being humble and grounded to embrace aspirational and luxe.

We’re excited to see how our homebuyers style Mocha Mousse in their Eastwood homes. This comforting, yet luxe shade can elevate your space while still giving you that sense of calm – here’s how we’re using it at Eastwood Homes.

You want your primary bedroom to be a place of refuge and relaxation, which is just what these brown hues are giving here. We love the way this bedroom utilizes a minimalist, neutral style – perfect for welcoming the sunshine on those early mornings or settling in after a long day. You’ll feel right at home!
Mocha Mousse as a statement wall? Say less! This second-floor loft is inviting and spacious, a perfect hang-out for a movie night or game night. The wall stands out in the otherwise lighter-toned room, adding the warmth it was missing to the space.

These wooden bathroom cabinets are sleek, yet practical. The contrast of the warm Mocha Mousse shade with the cool-toned blue creates a balanced atmosphere. Blue, especially light blue, is typically seen as a calming color, while the brown is seen as grounding and stable.
Your home office should be a peaceful retreat, not a place of chaos or stress. These stunning light brown walls are an invitation for focus, dedication, and productivity – all the things you need to succeed! Pantone describes Mocha Mousse as the ideal hue for ‘me moments,’ and this calming color creates the perfect space to unwind and recharge, making it your personal sanctuary for all those moments just for you.
Once again, Mocha Mousse proves to be a stunning accent color – but this time, in a secondary bedroom! Pantone describes the shade as a “suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort,” and we can’t think of a more comforting place to curl up with your morning coffee.

Mocha Mousse, with its rich, warm brown tones, transforms your butler's pantry into a welcoming and elegant space. The brown cabinets are sophisticated, yet home-y, creating the perfect backdrop for tucking away your small appliances or offering extra counter space for meal prep and hosting. Just like the coffee you’ll pour from the coffee station, this color evokes warmth and comfort.
Mocha Mousse adds a touch of earthiness to the walls of this neutral secondary bedroom. When used in accessories like an ottoman at the end of the bed, mirrors, and wall decor, this rich brown hue complements the neutral tones of the walls, adding depth and texture to an otherwise plain bedroom. Your cozy retreat awaits!
