Mocha Mousse: A New Dimension in Smartphone Design
Mocha Mousse is more than just a color; it’s an experience. Chosen as Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025, this warm, rich hue blends the comforting essence of chocolate and coffee, creating a visual and tactile sensation that reaches beyond sight. Motorola has brought this color to life with its motorola razr 50 ultra and motorola edge 50 neo, marking the brand as the first in the world to offer smartphones in this exclusive shade.
In an innovative step, these devices feature a soft insert made from coffee grounds, further blurring the lines between technology and nature. This collaboration with Pantone underscores Motorola’s ongoing commitment to creating devices that are as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional, giving consumers a deeper connection to both their technology and the environment around them.
A Sensory Experience at La Foleia
To introduce Mocha Mousse to the world, Motorola chose Relais La Foleia in Arona, Italy—a serene setting that embodies balance and refinement. In this tranquil environment, the Hello Color Sense event brought Mocha Mousse to life, transforming the color into a full sensory experience. The event highlighted the connection between design and nature, inviting attendees to appreciate not only the visual impact of the color but also its tactile and emotional qualities.
Color as a Sensory Journey
“Mocha Mousse reinforces the importance of taking time for oneself,” says Ruben Castano, Vice President of Customer Experience and Design at Motorola. “It’s a reminder to savor the simple pleasures of life, whether it’s enjoying a cup of coffee or simply being present in the moment. We wanted this color to evoke a feeling of warmth and comfort, while also encouraging users to care for themselves.”
Blurring the Lines Between the Physical and Digital
Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, adds, “Mocha Mousse brings a sense of intimacy and sensory engagement to the virtual and physical worlds. By incorporating this organic hue into the motorola razr 50 ultra and motorola edge 50 neo, Motorola has introduced a new dimension to everyday interactions, making these devices feel more personal and connected.”
Motorola’s Mocha Mousse smartphones will be available in select markets globally, offering a refined yet accessible way for users to express themselves through color, technology, and design.
