Dear friends, as you who follow me know by now, Psycho Seasonal Color Analysis, combines color analysis (armochromia) with psychological aspects in order to enhance the uniqueness and personality of each individual through the conscious use of colors. This method aims to create harmony between a person's outer appearance and inner world, using colors to best express one's charm and personality.

For those who have not read it, I attach a link to the previous article on Psycho Armocromy.


The idea of posting the looks of the competing singers and co-hosts, came to me, live, on the first night of the singing kermesse; The Pantone color 2025 Mocha Mousse, although not worn by any participant (apart from Brunori Sars and Rose Villane) manifested itself by activating our inner part, emotions and not with the classic visual impact.


The traditional and innovative, familiar and authoritative at the same time, atmosphere of the Festival management , the choice of co-hosts who are friends of Conte, the songs, all of them beautiful and almost all of them inspired by love in all its forms or at least having an important lyric to reflect on, the non-singing guests who bring important themes to the stage, reiterate the concepts of Familiarity, Recovery of one's uniqueness, Respect Integration Diversity and Inclusiveness, Trust and Reliability and Human as well as Professional Growth, in short, a perfect snapshot of how society and listening has changed.


For many Giorgia should have been awarded for voice and interpretation but for others Olly won over the contemporary and an audience that does not reflect in Giorgia; she national popular, a myth for our generations, but Olly represents the new and the generations that do not represent us. Lucio, a revelation, immediately enters the heart of the audience, he represents rebellion against a system but with the kindness of a poet and the education of other times, Brunori brings a thought-provoking text about gender equality. It is not about patriarchy, as Olly says, but I agree with Giorgia that the masculine is ancestral and it will still take time to change this thinking.

On the Pantone website, Mocha Mousse is described as a color that offers a sense of comfort and emotional nourishment at a time in history marked by global crises, geopolitical uncertainties and a growing need for authentic connection with self and others. Sanremo was an emotional Mocha Mousse, bringing together the individual personalities and related colors exhibited.


Analyzing the outfits worn during the final night of Sanremo Festival 2025, we try to associate the colors chosen with the psychological aspects they evoke:
