Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201)
Timeless Dinnerware
Embracing Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year
Each year, designers across the world look to the Pantone Color Institute for inspiration and insight into the on-trend hues that will define the months ahead. For 2026, Pantone has taken a bold and beautifully understated step — naming Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201) as its official Color of the Year.
Cloud Dancer isn’t just another neutral; it’s the first white tone ever selected as Pantone’s Color of the Year. Described as a billowy, balanced white that evokes serenity, calm, and clarity, this shade reflects a cultural desire for simplicity and renewed focus in a world that often feels overwhelming. Like a blank canvas, it celebrates space — both visual and emotional — inviting us to slow down, reset, and refocus on what truly matters.
This choice resonates across industries, from interiors to fashion and yes, tableware, as a quiet but powerful counterbalance to noise and distraction.
