Pantone has announced Mocha Mousse as the Colour of the Year for 2025. This soft, light brown hue evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and sophistication. The colour highlights the ongoing trend of natural, earthy tones in design and consumer goods, with a priority in the food industry. The year 2025 is set to inspire an aesthetic that emphasises natural elegance, and at Mane Kancor, we’re excited to explore how these trends influence the use of natural colours in food, especially in bakery and dessert applications.
The colour is deeply associated with nature and aligns with the current trend. The brand explained that Mocha Mousse is a colour that honours the current movement to align ourselves with nature more closely. It ‘embraces the sustenance of our physical environment’ and reflects an ongoing consumer desire for authenticity and simplicity—values that perfectly align with the growing preference for natural food colours.
Consumers in 2025 continue to prioritise clean-label products, with a strong preference for natural ingredients that reflect their values of health and sustainability. As this trend grows, the demand for natural food colours has become even more essential in meeting these evolving expectations. The global market for natural food colours is evaluated at $2.74 billion for 2025 and is expected to see robust growth, with a projected CAGR of 5.91%, reaching a market value of $3.652 billion by 2030.
As Pantone’s Mocha Mousse makes waves in design and fashion, we see an opportunity to explore how similar tones can be achieved naturally in food, contributing to the rise of more ‘Instagrammable’ products that are both visually appealing and clean in label. Our C-Capture range of natural food colours offers various shades of brown from our Bronze series, formulated using annatto, turmeric, paprika, and fruit and vegetable juices. These colours deliver warm, comforting hues, perfect for enhancing bakery products like croissants, buns, and breads, as well as indulgent treats like soufflés, mousses, cakes, and frosting.
At Mane Kancor, we specialise in natural colour solutions for a wide range of food applications, focusing on sustainable and stable ingredients. For the bakery sector, we offer innovative colour blends using natural sources like annatto and turmeric. These natural colourants can achieve golden to light brown shades that not only look stunning but are also clean-label and free from synthetic additives.
In bakery products such as croissants, buns, and breads, our turmeric-annatto blend delivers a warm, inviting colour that complements the golden-brown tones of freshly baked goods. This blend also works well in cakes, frosting, and other dessert applications, providing a rich and appealing visual while maintaining the integrity of natural ingredients. At Mane Kancor, we are committed to providing natural, sustainable, and vibrant colour solutions that help brands create products customers love.
Mane Kancor collaborates closely with customers to create customised shades that meet their specific requirements.
