How to Rock: 2025 Pantone Color of the Year

The 2025 Pantone Color of the Year has been announced! Mocha Mousse is a “warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.” This year’s color is neutral, which makes it extremely easy to incorporate into your looks. This light brown is actually very complementary for redheads of all skin tones, so we’re pretty excited to show you how to embrace it. Here’s how redheads can rock Mocha Mousse:

1. Makeup:

This light to medium-toned brown is an ideal redhead makeup color. One of our favorite ways to rock this shade of brown is on the eyes. Brown is one of the shades that pairs well with every eye color and looks amazing with red hair. Here are some Mocha Mousse-inspired product picks for redheads:

2. Nails

A good neutral nail will always be in style. Mocha Mousse can be used as an alternative to lighter nude options. This color looks pretty as a solid or incorporated into a design with other colors! Here are some redhead-friendly Mocha Mousse-inspired nail polishes:

3. Clothing

This warm brown shade can easily be incorporated into your wardrobe, and is a great neutral option for redheads! Pantone suggests pairing this color with other neutrals such as tan, cream, and dark brown. We also think their pairings for pops of color work amazingly on redheads! Some of those pairings include more “spring” tones like cornflower blue, mossy green, violet, and rose. Here are some Mocha Mousse pieces to help get your wardrobe inspired:
