The decision has been made, and it was just announced. The color for 2026 is Cloud Dancer. Pantone says:

“With its expansive presence, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer invites a space where function and feeling intertwine to build atmospheres of serenity and spaciousness, providing a refuge of visual cleanliness that inspires well-being and lightness”.

I am so pleased with their choice. I think that we all need to feel serenity and what better way to start than in the colors we select to wear and look at each day! As a cloud watcher I even love to think about the color name and envision the feelings of peace one gets when looking up at the sky.

The Winter Olympics are almost here. For our athletes Ralph Lauren has chosen all white for the opening ceremonies. Synchronicity!!
