Pantone Colour of the Year 2026 - The Perfect Bridal Palette

It's official... the Pantone Colour of the Year is here! Introducing Cloud Dancer - aka PANTONE 11-4201 - described as "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection". A gorgeously subtle hue, this colour signifies a space to let creativity bloom and be taken in a totally unique direction.

"Similar to a blank canvas, Cloud Dancer signifies our desire for a fresh start. Peeling away layers of outmoded thinking, we open the door to new approaches. An airy white hue, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer opens up space for creativity, allowing our imagination to drift so that new insights and bold ideas can emerge and take shape."

- Laurie Pressman, Vice President of Pantone Colour Institute
