JAKARTA - Pantone or a global color standard tar related company has officially announced Color of the Year for 2026. The color that will trend next year is called Cloud Dancer.
Cloud Dancer is the dominant color that is natural white, clean and clear. According to the Pantone team, the color was chosen because the world is now in a transition period.
Many people feel overwhelmed because there is too much information, demands, so there is a need to "reset". People seek truth, space to breathe, and a simpler way of life.
Vice President of Pantone Color Insititute, Laurie Pressman, described Cloud Dancer as an empty canvas. This allows one to open up space for creativity to flow freely.
"White people who open space for creativity allow imagination to flow freely, and create bold new insights and ideas," Laurie said, quoted from Fashion Unites, on Friday, December 5, 2025.
