Cloud Dancer, officially known as Pantone 11-4201, has been named the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026. This is the first time Pantone has selected a shade of white as its annual color, marking a significant shift. Cloud Dancer is described as a lofty, soft, and harmonious white that symbolizes calm, tranquility, and renewal in a society seeking quiet reflection and peaceful introspection. The Pantone Color Institute highlights that this airy white acts as a soothing presence in a chaotic world, encouraging thoughtful consideration and fresh beginnings. Cloud Dancer is intended to represent clarity without chill and structure without harshness, making it a versatile backdrop for creativity and innovation in design, fashion, and lifestyle trends for 2026. "In motion and in pause, Cloud Dancer drifts between light and ethereal, a living calm that invites renewal, vision in serenity and creative release," the Pantone said.
