4 Earthy Destinations That Match the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year

If you missed it (and honestly, who’s paying that much attention?), the 2025 Pantone Color of the Year was revealed as… Mocha Mousse. Not exactly a showstopper, right? But instead of being underwhelmed by this muted pick, I’m flipping the script—and turning it into a travel mood board.

🎨 Think: warm, earthy tones. Sunbaked landscapes. Rugged elegance.

From Morocco’s golden dunes to Chile's warm hued valleys, here are four destinations that channel the Mocha Mousse vibe in the best way—and just might spark your next great adventure.

MOROCCO | THE SAHARA DESERT

Golden dunes, warm desert tones, and rich spice market colors—Morocco brings Mocha Mousse to life. Think camel rides across cinnamon-colored sand and starlit nights in luxury camps.

NEW MEXICO | SANTA FE

Earth-toned buildings, desert light, and cozy Southwestern charm—Santa Fe is full of Mocha Mousse energy. Wander adobe-lined streets, browse art galleries, and sip local wine under the glow of golden hour.

CHILE | ATACAMA DESERT

Rust-colored valleys, mineral-rich landscapes, and skies that stretch forever—the Atacama oozes warm, muted tones. Soak in hot springs, explore Moon Valley, and stargaze in one of the clearest skies on earth.

ITALY | MATERA

Honey-colored stone, shadowy cave dwellings, and centuries of texture—Matera glows with old-world warmth. Sleep in a cave hotel, sip wine on a stone terrace, and wander ancient alleyways that shift color with the light.
