Pantone has unveiled its 2025 Color of the Year: Mocha Mousse (PANTONE 17-1230). This serene, lightly pigmented brown is a soothing shift from the bold hues of recent years, embodying harmony, warmth, and a connection to nature.

At Gardens America, where we supply exceptional flowers to retailers and florists, this trending color offers inspiration for curated arrangements and displays. Mocha Mousse is more than a color; it’s an opportunity to craft designs that align with current consumer trends and elevate floral offerings for clients.

Floral Varieties Inspired by Mocha Mousse

Mocha Mousse’s natural, neutral tone provides a perfect palette for florists to create arrangements with understated elegance. Gardens America offers a range of flowers that reflect or complement this trending hue:

  • Quicksand Roses: These soft, sandy blush roses perfectly echo Mocha Mousse’s muted warmth, creating timeless arrangements.
  • Cappuccino Roses: With their caramel-infused petals, these blooms capture the essence of indulgence and pair beautifully with neutral tones.
  • Beige Dahlias: Stunningly versatile, dahlias in shades of beige add depth and dimension to monochromatic arrangements.
  • Ivory Hydrangeas: These lush, creamy blooms provide balance and volume, enhancing the softness of Mocha Mousse-inspired designs.
  • Dried Pampas Grass: A favorite in contemporary floral arrangements, pampas grass adds texture and an earthy aesthetic that complements this year’s Pantone color.

Design Trends for Retailers and Florists

As consumers seek balance and simplicity, Mocha Mousse serves as a foundation for creating sophisticated arrangements. Here’s how florists can incorporate the trend:

  • Monochromatic Displays: Offer arrangements built entirely in neutrals—soft browns, ivory, and taupe—for a chic and cohesive look.
  • Natural Pairings: Pair Mocha Mousse-inspired flowers with green foliage such as eucalyptus or olive branches to emphasize a connection to nature.
  • Textural Designs: Combine blooms with pampas grass, bunny tails, and other dried or preserved elements to enhance visual interest.
