Every year, Pantone selects a shade that captures the global mood, and for 2026, it's all about finding peace, reflection, and clarity. Introducing PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer—an airy, billowy white that feels less like a colour and more like a gentle, much-needed pause.

Described as a "lofty white" and a "whisper of calm," Cloud Dancer encourages us to step back from the overstimulation of the modern world and embrace a fresh start. It's the ultimate blank canvas, allowing your creativity to soar and your focus to return.

Nail the Trend: How to Replicate Cloud Dancer

Cloud Dancer is an inherently versatile hue, and the CND™ Cloud Bundle gives you endless ways to embrace it:

1. Choose one of the warmer shades like Lady Lily for a full, uniform manicure that speaks volumes through its simplicity.

2. Create a custom "Cloud" look by layering a sheer shade over a full-coverage shade like Cream Puff for incredible depth.

3. Use Winter Warrior as the perfect base for other soft, pastel colors (Pantone suggests pastels complement Cloud Dancer beautifully!).
