Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is an instantly-appealing, chocolate-lovers’ tone called Mocha Mousse. The color is already a favorite hue in eyewear, and matches many of the most flattering variations of tortoise and brown in the latest releases at Readingglasses.com.
Pantone 17-1230 Mocha Mousse is a warm tone of brown, “imbued with richness”. According to the Pantone Color Institute, the tone nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort”.
For eyewear, the color has long been ‘in the mix’ across sunglass and ophthalmic designer eyewear ranges because the tone has natural qualities that perfectly enhance our natural skin tones and the color of our eyes. Brown tones related to Pantone’s Mocha Mousse and combinations or gradient tones are therefore expected to surge in popularity in the next weeks in frame fashion as a leading focus for Spring ’25!
