Huffington Post interviewed Lauren Battistini on her opinion of the 2025 PANTONE Color of The Year—Mocha Mousse.
“A neutral such as Mocha Mousse doesn’t necessarily hold much presence on its own, but when you pair it with the right colors, it serves as a visual comfort within the overall color palette,” she said.
“I see it as a perfect anchoring neutral to combine with colors such as cream, aqua, ochre, warm red, aubergine, blush, cinnamon and warm greens.”

Livingetc magazine UK asked Lauren once again to deliberate over the color slate and how to work it into almost any decor scheme.
“When it comes to colors that go with gray in this slate tone, the perfect complements are warmer colors like burnt orange and terracotta, balancing them with its cool blue undertones.”
But Lauren Battistini warns to be careful with how you use it in your home, adding: "With the global shift in neutrals from the cooler grays of years past to the cognacs, soft browns, and overall warm neutrals today, I believe that slate as a gray décor color is going to be used more sparingly, especially because it is such a cool, blue-gray."

This ‘Cosmic' Color Palette Is the Decorating Trend You Should Be Doing Right Now If You Like Dark, Moody Rooms
Livingetc magazine asked Lauren to elaborate on the definition of a cosmic color palette and how to seamlessly incorporate into your architectural space.
So, what are they? "The cosmic color palette is one containing a predominance of deep, cool purple, indigo, and blue with balancing accents of luminous off-white, lilac, the lightest of periwinkle tones, and a pop of orange-tinged yellow," Houston-based color expert, Lauren Battistini, tells me. "The deepest anchoring neutral would be a charcoal verging on black."
These color palettes are full of deep, moody saturations, but don't let that be a reason to shy away from them. "There is a gentle, relaxing quality about the cosmic palette when used in home interiors," Lauren assures me. And I'd argue that a full immersion into this cool color trend is the best approach to understand its strength and potential. In other words, it's time to step out of your comfort zone and into the cosmos.

There Is Something So "Ethereal" About the Color Cyan — Designers Break Down Why That Is, and How to Use It
A well-styled home is all about the little accents. Lauren Battistini, a color expert and chief color strategist at LFB Color Consulting, says, "In a home decor scenario, I incorporate tones of cyan sparingly and pair them with blues and greens to achieve a harmonious, less contrasting palette."
Turquoise ceramic pieces and artwork featuring this tone provide the perfect measure of this luminous hue. Cyan is a playful and serene counterpart to monochrome or neutral color schemes, but remember that "little dose goes a long way," adds Lauren.
