Pantone has done it again. Chosen a color no one expected… PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse hit us like a surprise left! There are many opinions on this color and many question marks… All of us at Cool Beauty believe it’s a genius move by Pantone.
Besides, all of us in the hair industry have embraced all kinds of chocolates and mochas during the fall/winter of 2024/2025. It is THE hair color of the season! So, Pantone Mocha Mousse is a dream, a wonderful sundae, and an acknowledgment of what we hair people knew all along: BROWN HUES ROCK!
“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.”
