Pantone Chooses White for 2026
Do you know about the “Colour of the Year”? A company named Pantone picks one special colour every year. For 2026, they choose a surprising colour: white! This special white is called Cloud Dancer.
Pantone started this in 1999. The colours they choose show what they think will become popular soon. It also shows how people around the world feel. For 2026, Pantone believes many people want quiet and peace. Cloud Dancer white helps people feel quiet inside.
This is the first time that white is the Colour of the Year. But Pantone often picks colours to change our feelings. In 2010, the colour was soft blue-green. In 2011, they chose a happy pink named Honeysuckle to make people smile. In 2024, the colour was a soft peach colour. It helped people think about being good to themselves.
Soon, you will see Cloud Dancer white in many places! It will be on new phones, clothes, tables and even toys like Play-Doh. The colour Pantone picks can change styles in fashion and design.
How do they pick the colour? It is mostly a secret! Experts(专家) at Pantone talk about new styles all year round. They want to show that colour is very strong. Colour is not just for seeing—it can change how we feel.
