Pantone Colour of the Year 2026

This month Pantone announced their Colour of the Year for 2026 as Cloud Dancer – a soothing, tranquil off-white shade.

Cloud Dancer has an expansive presence, described as ‘a billowy white imbued with serenity’ – this gentle shade offers a crisp & clean approach for quiet reflection, delivering a much-needed calming influence – allowing space to focus, relax and create. 

This blank canvas colour allows all other colours it is paired with to shine, seen here with some of our lighter, crisp neutral shades in osaka® & arctic®, alongside highlight pastel colours, building on the powdered pastel colour palettes created by Pantone.
