Pantone has selected PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a soft, billowy white, as the 2026 Colour of the Year, marking the first white choice since 1999. This airy, neutral white, evokes serenity and clarity amid modern chaos, with subtle warmth that reflects light beautifully. For interior design, it signals a shift toward tranquil, textured spaces that pair enduring materials with minimalist elegance.

Why Cloud Dancer is the Must-Have Colour for 2026

Cloud Dancer acts as a versatile canvas, amplifying textures in stone and tile without overwhelming designs. Its balanced tone, neither stark white nor overly warm, promotes focus and peace, aligning with global calls for simplification. In Australia, where interiors favour natural, inviting aesthetics, this hue supports the rise of soft minimalism over clinical finishes.
