The Pantone Color Institute, as usual, has announced the colour of the year.
Pantone 17-1230: Mocha Mousse! Destined to redefine the colour standards of the new year, from fashion to make-up, from decorations to interior design.

Pantone 2025: Mocha Mousse is the colour of the year
Pantone 2025's "Mocha Mousse" is utterly delectable.
A "subtle and relaxing" brown, reminiscent of the colour of chocolate and coffee to satisfy “our desire for comfort”.
And when it comes to comfort, ceramics are a must-have, fulfilling the desire for comfort, practicality, and beauty in interior design with a single solution!
Let's explore how to pair this distinctive hue with FAP's wall tiles and stoneware floors, creating both harmonious and contrasting looks.
Pantone Color: setting the standard for colour worldwide
The colour standards of all industries - whether we like it or not - cannot ignore the new Pantone Fashion Color, a warm, creamy shade with clear gastronomic overtones.
We'll see it dominating everywhere, just as Peach Fuzz guided the styles and trends of last year, as highlighted by trend reports from the most diverse fields.
But how can we put it to use in interior design?
How to use Mocha Mousse in interior design
The Mocha Mousse colour, with its warm and enveloping tones, is perfectly suited to creating a sophisticated and welcoming setting.
It pairs perfectly with natural materials such as pale wood or rattan, creating an organic and relaxed atmosphere.
For a more modern look, it can be combined with black metal or gold finishes to add a touch of elegance.

How to combine Mocha Mousse with other Pantone colours
Mocha Mousse, thanks to its neutral nature, offers great versatility.
Here's how to pair it with other Pantone colours for harmonious and impactful combinations:
Mocha Mousse + Ultimate Gray (PANTONE 17-5104)
The sophistication of grey blends seamlessly with the warmth of Mocha Mousse, resulting in a serene and harmonious environment. Ideal for a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic.
Mocha Mousse + Illuminating (PANTONE 13-0647)
This vibrant and sunny shade of yellow adds energy and contrast to the warmth of Mocha Mousse, ideal for lively spaces like living rooms or creative studios.
Mocha Mousse + Sage Green (PANTONE 15-0115)
Sage green, soft and natural, blends perfectly with Mocha Mousse for a nature-inspired look, ideal for bedrooms or relaxing environments.
Mocha Mousse + Blue Depths (PANTONE 19-3940)
For a more polished look, dark blue provides a striking contrast, making the pairing with Mocha Mousse ideal for elegant and inviting spaces.
Mocha Mousse + Rose Quartz (PANTONE 13-1520)
This soft, rosy shade lends a touch of romance and femininity to Mocha Mousse. The pairing is ideal for sophisticated spaces such as living rooms or bedrooms.
These pairings explore the interplay between warm and cool shades, as well as natural colour harmonies, making Mocha Mousse a versatile choice for various interior design styles. Consider experimenting with textures and materials further to elevate the unique character of these combinations.
Fap porcelain stoneware: collections that complement Mocha Mousse

The handcrafted look of the Glim collection’s Beige brick, with its extra glossy finish, creates a harmonious and balanced pairing with Mocha Mousse. The glossy little brick brightens the Pantone, creating reflections that accentuate its chocolate undertones.
The Glim Gemme Beige floor, with its rich chromatic fragments that perfectly complement Mocha Mousse, is another compelling option.

To enhance the deliciousness of Pantone 2025 further, we recommend the Milano Mood floor in Biscotto colour. A beautiful, modern and elegant resin-effect porcelain stoneware for decidedly sophisticated and welcoming interiors.
Mocha Mousse also pairs perfectly with the wall tiles from the same collection, especially in the Biscotto, Cipria, and Cielo colours!
If you're a fan of decorative, botanical, or jungle-inspired design, you'll love the Deco&More Tropical Kenzia wall tiles.
The stunning pattern features glossy lacquers on a matt background, with alternating shades of soft grey and pastel pink that create depth and add a beautiful sense of movement to the walls.
