Bella Hadid was also seen with a Mousse color manicure inspiring many others to do the same. Others are also following the trend by launching makeup with shades of mocha mousse while some even dye their hair this elegant hue.
Maria Yanez, a senior, gave her opinion of the 2025 pantone color. “The first thing I think of when I see the color of the year is ‘coffee’,” Yanez also said “I’d describe this color as a rich and earthy color.”
McKenna Bradley, a freshman, explained what she would like to see with this color: “A dress or maybe a hoodie would look nice.” Although it’s a nice color, she explained “ “Not one I would have much of though.”
While everyone has their preferences, Tyrrell Garcia, a senior, said “It’s a nice color. I don’t hate it, but don’t love it.” Garcia added, “It’s a strange color.”
