Each year, Pantone announces its Colour of the Year, influencing trends across design, fashion, and lifestyle globally. For 2026, the chosen tone is Cloud Dancer, a soft, ethereal white that captures a feeling of calm purity and renewal. This choice reflects a shift towards simplicity, serenity, and the quiet power of stillness in an increasingly chaotic world. Yet, as with many of Pantone’s decisions, it has not come without discussion and debate. From a feng shui perspective, this delicate shade reveals layers of meaning connected to the Five Elements theory, Chinese astrology, and the transformative energy of the upcoming Fire Horse year. This blog explores the symbolism, impact, and controversy of Cloud Dancer, weaving Western design sensibilities with Eastern wisdom for a balanced understanding of how this colour can reshape your environment and life.
