As consumers embrace a desire for peace and serenity in a noisy world, Pantone announces their Colour of the Year for 2026: Cloud Dancer, a billowy white, reminiscent of clouds, fresh linen and peace.
“At this time of transformation, when we are reimagining our future and our place in the world, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer is a discrete white hue offering a promise of clarity. The cacophony that surrounds us has become overwhelming, making it harder to hear the voices of our inner selves. A conscious statement of simplification, Cloud Dancer enhances our focus, providing release from the distraction of external influences.” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute.
