How to create unique packaging with Mocha Mousse
1. Combine it with “complementary” colours
Mocha Mousse shows off best when combined with:
- White: Creates a clean, fresh feel.
- Gold or bronze: For luxurious, high-end products.
- Green: Emphasizes the ecological aspect and references nature.
2. Focus on textures
Mocha Mousse looks great when played with textures. Add:
- Matte finish for a minimal and premium aesthetic.
- Glossy elements for a more sophisticated look.
- Embossed patterns to add “depth” to the packaging.
3. Use it in the font and graphics
Instead of just using the color as a background, consider incorporating it into your graphics. For example:
- Use it in logos or labels.
- Incorporate nature-inspired designs, such as leaves or waves.
