Pantone is a global authority on color and a leading influence in design, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle trends. Through its Pantone Color Institute, the brand analyzes global cultural movements, social moods, and creative industries to select an annual Color of the Year. This choice is not simply aesthetic: it reflects the emotional and cultural climate of the moment, shaping creative directions worldwide.

For 2026, Pantone introduces Cloud Dancer, an ethereal, light-filled shade that expresses serenity, balance, and quiet sophistication. Inspired by the softness of early morning skies, Cloud Dancer captures a sense of calm and poetic movement—an antidote to visual overload and a celebration of subtle beauty.

The Pantone Color of the Year 2026 stands out for its versatility and timeless appeal. Cloud Dancer harmonizes effortlessly with pearly whites, soft greys, pale mauves, and natural greens such as sage, making it ideal for interiors, fashion collections, and floral design. In the garden, this delicate tone translates into an atmosphere of elegance and tranquility.

This is where Meilland roses, internationally renowned for their quality and innovation, offer a natural and living interpretation of Cloud Dancer. Through carefully selected varieties, Meilland transforms the Pantone Color of the Year into a sensory floral experience, combining color, form, and fragrance.

Among the roses that best embody the Cloud Dancer aesthetic is CAMILLE CLAUDEL®, admired for its romantic, generously shaped blooms and sculptural beauty. Crème CHANTILLY® reflects the creamy luminosity of the shade, offering abundant flowering and refined softness. ANGGUN®, with its intense and captivating fragrance, adds an emotional depth that proves light tones can be both delicate and powerful.

Additional Meilland varieties further enrich this palette inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year. PALAIS ROYAL® brings classic elegance to garden compositions, while PIERRE ARDITI® stands out for its refined structure and luminous petals, perfect for both landscaping and cut flowers. JEANNE MOREAU®, MARINA PICASSO®, and Bianca KNOCK OUT® complete this selection, each offering its own interpretation of Cloud Dancer through texture, brightness, and natural grace.

Together, Pantone Cloud Dancer and Meilland roses highlight a growing desire for calm, authenticity, and emotional connection with nature. Gardens and bouquets become spaces of reflection, where softness replaces excess and elegance is expressed through restraint.

In 2026, the Pantone Color of the Year finds its most poetic expression in flowers. Through Meilland roses, Cloud Dancer moves from abstract trend to living beauty, reminding us that the most powerful statements are often the quietest.
