Cloud Dancer: Pantone’s Color of the Year 2026 and How to Wear It
In a world overwhelmed by speed, noise, and constant visual stimulation, Pantone’s Color of the Year 2026 offers something radically different.
Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201) is a soft, airy white — calm, luminous, and quietly powerful.
For the first time in its history, Pantone has chosen a shade of white as Color of the Year. This decision is deeply symbolic. Cloud Dancer isn’t about emptiness or minimalism for the sake of it. It represents a pause, a reset, and a return to clarity — a blank canvas that allows personal style, texture, and intention to take center stage.
