It\u2019s nice to have a color that makes an impact without insisting upon itself.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>They love how this versatile neutral combats digitization and AI, too. It\u2019s a color that feels like a return to nature, something constant and stable that\u2019s in conversation with both the planet and people.

One of our team\u2019s favorite things about Mocha Mousse is that it pairs well with all kinds of skin tones, so models and portrait photography look amazing.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>And finally, if you\u2019re using it as a foundation for your online printing projects, be generous with a full flood of color, and be sure to use <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/features\/easy-to-read-fonts\">big, bold type for legibility<\/a>. To get the most accurate rendering of Mocha Mousse, we recommend choosing a gloss or matte coated stock.<\/p> <!--[\/col]--><\/div> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6\"><!--[col]--> <h2 id=\"mocha-mousse-don'ts\">Mocha Mousse Don\u2019ts<\/h3> <p>While Mocha Mousse is versatile, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good for every design idea. Like most things, there are the dos and don\u2019ts. For Mocha Mousse, our Creative team would steer clear of using it for marketing high-tech products and services. (Remember all that nature talk before? Yeah, stay with that path.)<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>The other thing to not do is use Mocha Mousse for body copy and small text. It\u2019s a lighter tone, so your background would have to be dark enough to create contrast and your font would have to be large enough to be clear &#8211; which isn\u2019t easy.<\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/blog\/features\/principles-of-design\">Before custom printing your collateral, brush up on the seven principles of design<\/a>.<\/p> <!--[\/col]--><\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div> <!--\/block--><!--block-empty--> <!--graybar--><div class=\"ltGrayBkgd-md\"><\/div><!--\/graybar--> <!--block--><div class=\"row center-xs\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/block--> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-8\"> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpressblog.imgix.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MM-Group-A-0025.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=900&s=268e41367c748072c6d335a66c5c7ea5\" alt=\"Two hands holding four print marketing pieces designed with Pantone Color of the Year 2025 Mocha Mousse.\"   data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!--block--><div class=\"row center-xs\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/block--> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-8\"> <div class=\"row\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <h2>Print Your Marketing Collateral with Smartpress<\/h2> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <!--block--><div class=\"row center-xs\"><div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-8\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--\/block--> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11 col-md-8\"> <div class=\"row center-xs\"> <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-10 col-md-8\"> <p>With its warm, rich hue and soft contentment, Mocha Mousse makes a true impact on your print marketing and branding.
