The New Star of Colour

The world of colour has its new star. Pantone, the global authority on colour, has announced Cloud Dancer as the 2026 Colour of the Year. This isn't a bold, shout-it-from-the-rooftops shade. Instead, Cloud Dancer is a gentle, airy whisper of white. It's the colour of a sunlit cloud, the soft glow of morning mist, and the ultimate blank canvas for calm and creativity.

"Cloud Dancer represents a global shift toward peace, quiet, and moments of calm in a busy world."

— Pantone Colour Institute

Experts say Cloud Dancer represents a global shift. We're all looking for more peace, quiet, and moments of calm in a busy world. This colour brings a sense of lightness, clarity, and hopeful simplicity. It's about making space for what truly matters.

So, how do you bring this beautiful, peaceful trend to your personal style? The perfect place to start is at your fingertips.
