Eiseman explained that Mocha Mousse “extends our perceptions of browns,” transforming the color from humble and grounded to aspirational and luxurious. This hue whispers quiet luxury, exuding charm and elegance without being overt. It also connects to nature, reflecting earthy tones that offer a sense of rootedness and balance.
