For the first time since Pantone announced the Color Of the Year, the most ethereal of the colours available on the palette was chosen to be the champion of trends for next 12 months by Veronica Lempi
It’s white mania. It’s taken over Pantone with the “Cloud Dancer” crowned as Color of the Year 2026: a slightly cloudy, vaporous shade. Unlike optical white, it invites the observer to seek soft, remote tranquillity. Like a ballerina who dances among the clouds – graceful, unconcerned, full of hope. It’s a new development that’s been enthusiastically accepted in the worlds of fashion, design and furnishings. Bringing elegance into the home without veering into classicism, a whisper of calm in a noisy world. It’s a challenging tone that pleases lovers of tone-on-tone decor while also lending itself to interesting contrasts, whether indoor or outdoor. This year, white communicates purity. And makes us feel good. Needless to say, it’s also perfect on board.
