Every year, Pantone sets the global creative tone with its selection of the Color of the Year. In 2026, the spotlight is on Cloud Dancer (TCX), a soft and ethereal white that conveys calm, lightness, and visual clarity.
Cloud Dancer emerges as a response to the fast pace of today’s world. It is a color that symbolizes calm, clarity, renewal, and balance, bringing a sense of spaciousness and serenity. Its delicate appearance makes it the perfect base for positive designs and a way to understand visual well-being.
Here is a selection of Tarrago colors in soft and pastel shades that complement and pair perfectly with this year’s color:
A versatile color that enhances materials
Far from being a neutral white without personality, Cloud Dancer stands out for its ability to harmonize with a wide range of colors.
In fashion, these shades enhance textures and materials, especially in natural fabrics, delicate surfaces, and minimalist finishes. However, light colors require special care to maintain their luminosity and uniformity over time.
Caring for light colors: the key to lasting aesthetics
Garments, footwear, and accessories in light shades are particularly sensitive to daily wear, dirt, and damage. Proper maintenance is essential to prevent loss of brightness or the appearance of stubborn stains.
That is why it is crucial to use products that clean thoroughly without damaging materials. Tarrago offers comprehensive solutions to preserve light tones, with products for the cleaning, care, and maintenance of all kinds of surfaces.
Cloud Dancer is not just the Color of the Year: it is an invitation to embrace a brighter and more tranquil aesthetic. Like any light shade, its impact depends on how it is cared for. Keeping whites and soft tones in good condition protects the purity of the color, enhances materials, and extends the life of garments, footwear, and accessories. At Tarrago Brands, we are committed to solutions that keep light colors looking as vibrant as the first day.
