Celebrate Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 with Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming Scarf
Each year, the Pantone Color Institute selects a hue that captures the global zeitgeist—a colour that resonates with the collective mood and inspires design and culture worldwide.
For 2025, Pantone has chosen PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, inviting brown imbued with richness and sensorial depth. This sophisticated shade celebrates the simple pleasures of life, from the comfort of a steaming cup of coffee to the indulgent warmth of chocolate.
Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming Merino Wool Scarf is the perfect accessory to complement this year’s colour, uniting the elegance of Mocha Mousse with the glorious hues of the Australian Outback.
A Fusion of Culture and Elegance
Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming scarf embodies the heritage of Australia’s Aboriginal culture, the world’s oldest continuous living tradition. Crafted from Woolmark-certified Australian Merino wool, this scarf is a celebration of artistry and sustainability.
Its luxurious softness and versatile design make it an ideal canvas for Joy Nangala Brown’s captivating painting, “Yumari Jukurrpa” (Rock Pools Dreaming), which tells the ancient story of forbidden love and hidden desert rock pools.
The intricate circular patterns in the artwork resonate beautifully with the natural tones of Mocha Mousse, creating a harmonious blend of earthy sophistication and meaningful storytelling.
