The color of the year 2026 chosen by Pantone is Cloud Dancer, a soft and airy white that expresses a global mood of lightness, balance and innovation.

Pantone has announced the Color of the Year 2026: PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a natural, luminous and delicate white, designed to evoke calm, clarity and a sense of “visual breathing”. This nuance conjures up the stillness of the clouds and the purity of open spaces, responding to our desire for simplicity, harmony and new beginnings. The Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, describes Cloud Dancer as “a balanced and velvety white, which invites us to slow down and rediscover an interior space.” The Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute,  Laurie Pressman, underscores how this color “exemplifies the contemporary need to reduce visual noise and create more conscious and serene atmospheres.”

With our disposable paper and airlaid table linen in shades of white, it is possible to create sophisticated and welcoming spaces.
