Pantone Color of the Year 2026

Alas, it’s everyone’s favorite time of the year once again - when Pantone releases their new “Color of The Year”.

After the legendary color language system company held their two annual secret meetings (with representatives from multiple different countries' color standard groups) in an undisclosed European capital city, a decision has been made.

Drum roll please…the 2026 Pantone Color of the Year is…

PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer.
