Pantone Colour of the Year 2026

Every year, the Pantone Colour Institute selects a colour to embody the mood of the moment.

The choice for 2026 is, in some ways, a bit of a surprise and has not been without controversy. “Cloud Dancer” is white – so technically not a colour at all. Although you could argue it’s quite clever given that white is actually what our eyes perceive when all of the colour wavelengths are being reflected.

Pantone introduces Cloud Dancer as “a whisper of tranquility and peace in a noisy world” and describes it as “a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection”.

Sounds like we all need a bit of Cloud Dancer in our lives right now.
