There is so much controversy about the Cloud Dancer, the 2026 Pantone’s choice of color for 2026.

White (cream) is one of my core colors and I enjoy wearing it. The conversion about whites actually inspired me to check my 2025 purchase. And I found that I bought only two cream items - a shirt and a replacement pair of jeans. Feels like it’s time to put my attention towards adding whites. A white summer dress and a top have been on my wish list for a while. A cream tote would be great, too. So, I support the Payton’s choice
I don’t really crave color in my wardrobe aside from some weeks at the end of a winter. But I like to add a few items here and there. I purchased some brown and burgundy items this year. The rest was in neutral colors and black. Maybe because I got more color this year, I don’t feel inspired to add more. At least for now. I will reassess in the summer.

Have you thought about your color of 2026? What inspires you?
