Petra, Jordan<\/h2>\n

Petra, the Rose City, might be known for its pink hues, but parts of its sandstone facade exude tones reminiscent of Mocha Mousse during certain times of the day. The ancient Nabatean city, carved into cliffs, showcases an earthy palette that perfectly matches the grounding qualities of the 2025 Color of the Year. If you\u2019re not quite convinced, try hiking up to the Al-Deir Monastery past the royal tombs – they really match the color of the year, all day long. <\/p>\n

Shades:<\/b> Pinkish-red by day, soft brown hues at dusk<\/p>\n

The Great Wall of China<\/h2>\n

Stretching across dramatic landscapes, the Great Wall of China boasts earthy, natural tones.

Shades:<\/b> Brown and earthy tones throughout the day<\/p>\n
