Pantone has been announcing its iconic Colors of the Year for more than two decades, and in all that time, it has never once chosen a shade of white – until now. The global color authority has revealed that the hue to define 2026 will be Cloud Dancer, a soft, subtle off-white with the slightest hint of gray in its composition.

It’s a color that cuts through the noise, grounds you, and offers a sense of tranquility amid the chaos of the world around us. Pantone 11-4201 Cloud Dancer may be a neutral shade of white, but it’s far from basic – quite the opposite, actually. Cloud Dancer is fresh, uplifting, and incredibly versatile when it comes to interior design.

White might have been overshadowed in 2025, but there’s no denying that it’s the key to a timeless, elegant home. Here, we have curated an edit of pieces inspired by this endlessly chic hue. From small tabletop accessories to large furnishings, these Cloud Dancer–toned homewares will bring calm and serenity to any corner of your home.

The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.
