Is Pantone’s Color of the Year an Actual Color?
Whether you consider it to be the absence of color or the sum of all colors put together, it’s fair to say that white is a nontraditional choice when talking about one’s favorite hues. So it might come as a surprise that the good people of the Pantone Color Institute selected a shade of white called “Cloud Dancer” as their Color of the Year for 2026. Soft and calming, the shade described as “a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity” is expected to dominate both fashion and home design for the coming year.
While public response to the selection has been mixed, with some commenters calling it boring or uninspired, the Pantone team is secure in their choice, noting that Cloud Dancer is designed to balance out the stresses of modern life. Providing a calming influence in our tech-reliant, chaotic, and often overworked society, the color represents our love of new beginnings. If the Pantone experts are correct, you can anticipate seeing Cloud Dancer crop up in everything from wall paint to bedding in the coming months.
Benefits of White Bedroom Decor
Along with adding some much-needed serenity to one’s daily routine, white decor offers several bedroom-specific benefits. Because we associate white with cleanliness, white sheets, pillows, and blankets have a way of making beds feel fresh and inviting. This is the reason hotels most frequently choose the shade for their rooms. If you’re struggling to get enough sleep, investing in white bedding may be the ideal way to boost rest in the new year. White is also a great option for guest rooms, as it encourages visitors to settle in and sleep.
Additionally, white paint and decor are great options for smaller bedrooms. If your space is on the tight side, white bedding will reflect light, opening up the room. For best results, incorporate different textures such as satin, cotton, linen, and even faux fur and suede. The end result will be both soothing and sumptuous.
