Supported by our desire for everyday pleasures, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha
Mousse expresses thoughtful indulgence, sophisticated and lush. Yet at the
time, an unpretentious classic, Mocha Mousse extends our perceptions of
the browns from humble and grounded to embracing aspirational and luxe,
says LEATRICE EISEMAN, Executive Director of Pantone Colour Institute.

One of the most appealing of Mocha Mousse is its ability to pair with a
wide range of other colours. It blends effortlessly with both warm
colours and colour tones. This makes it an ideal choice for
those who wish to experiment with bold contrasts while
maintaining a sense of cohesion and balance.
