The color of 2026 has been revealed
When buying New Year’s clothes, many of us pay attention to the “color of the year.” There is no single unified “color” of the year. Instead, several companies, such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and Pantone, announce their individual colors. The Pantone Color Institute has announced that the color of 2026 is a delicate shade of white, named “Cloud Dancer.”
The institute notes that this color is a “light, balanced white that conveys a sense of calm and peace.” The color symbolizes a new beginning. It was chosen to contrast with life’s chaos and provide a soothing effect.
“Cloud Dancer” symbolizes silence, thoughtfulness, and internal balance. During an interview, the vice president of the institute mentioned that cultural, political, and fashion trends are taken into account when choosing the color of the year. The name of the color is also important, as it immediately provides an idea of its significance.
In addition to white, the world of fashion and design also highlights a soft green shade, which emphasizes ecological trends, as well as a blue-green shade suitable for interiors and fashion.
Soft pink and gentle reddish shades, beige, and others are also considered colors of the year.
