Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year: Cloud Dancer

Pantone introduces Cloud Dancer, a soft and airy white symbolizing clarity, calm, and a fresh start. As the first white to receive Color of the Year recognition, Cloud Dancer reflects a growing desire for quiet spaces, thoughtful design, and visual simplicity in an increasingly loud world. Paired with natural woods, warm neutrals, or saturated accents, Cloud Dancer offers a clean foundation for spaces that want to feel open, modern, and intentionally composed.

Why White, and Why Now?

Cloud Dancer reflects a broader shift toward soft minimalism and sensory calm in interiors, allowing light, materiality, and form to take the lead without overwhelming a space. In workplace environments, it brings clarity and balance, creating room for creativity and collaboration, whether used as a unifying backdrop or layered with woods and textiles.
