Press Release

Pantone colour of the year 2026

Lights.co.uk presents lights in the colour PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer

Fulda, 16. December 2025 - With PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, the Pantone Color Institute™ is focusing on a shade of white for 2026 that acts as a quiet respite in an overstimulated world. The colour conveys the feeling of a clear moment in which thoughts can be sorted and creative impulses can arise - similar to the interplay of bright direct light and soft indirect light, which calms and inspires a room at the same time. This fine, floating white symbolises the freedom of a blank canvas: it creates openness for new ideas, frees you from visual ballast and spotlights lighting concepts that consciously focus on reduction. Cloud Dancer is therefore more than just a colour - it is a statement of clarity, concentration and the courage to start afresh. Lights.co.uk presented:

Cloud Dancer pure & for itself

Cloud Dancer 2026 acts as a versatile base colour that not only complements other shades, but literally lights them up. The colour can be harmoniously integrated into different style worlds and creates a stage for personal forms of expression with its soft brightness. Whether on its own or in combination with bold or delicate tones: Cloud Dancer immerses rooms in a fresh, airy lightness - perfectly staged by stylish lights that pick up on its clarity and carry it forward.

Cloud Dancer in combination with pastel colours

Cloud Dancer unfolds its fine, light-reflecting effect particularly gently in combination with pastel and creamy neutral shades. Lights with diffuse light emission or opal white lampshades enhance this ethereal mood and lend rooms a subtle but present brightness. The gentle coordination between sound and light creates an ambience that is calm, balanced and subtly colourful.

"Light & Shadow" colour palette

Cloud Dancer blends effortlessly into palettes ranging from soft colour mists to delicate shadow effects. Cleverly placed light sources - such as indirect wall lighting, translucent fabric shades or frosted glass - create slight transitions that make the white tone appear even softer. The result is an exciting interplay of gentle contrast and atmospheric depth effect.

"Take a Break" colour palette

The white shade Cloud Dancer invites you to pause for a moment - and rediscover colours. Whether invigorating accents such as Pink Lemonade, Mango Mojito and Papaya, or warm tones such as Caramel and Cocoa Crème: with this colour palette, colourful decorative objects and lighting designs appear fresher and more playful. Well-dosed lighting emphasises these nuances without outshining them - ideal for lively yet relaxed furnishing scenarios.

"Atmospheric" colour palette

Cloud Dancer has an almost transparent lightness that benefits from both natural light and indirect LED light. In harmonious collages with bluish, misty tones or aquatic blue-green, a picture is created that is reminiscent of clear horizons when light breaks through thin layers of cloud. This palette is perfect for rooms that need to radiate calm, space and a subtle freshness.

"Comfort Zone" colour palette

Everyone needs a place where lighting is not only functional but also pleasant. Surrounded by organic colours and natural materials, Cloud Dancer conveys a sense of security and mindfulness. Warm white light, textured lampshades or lights made of wood, hemp and fabric emphasise this calming character and create retreats with a harmonious lighting mood.

"Tropical Tonalities" colour palette

In combination with vibrant tropical colours, Cloud Dancer shows its lively side. Lights in bright yellow, turquoise or fuchsia accents look particularly clear and sunny against the soft white tone. The palette evokes associations with bright beaches, tropical light and colourful nature - an energetic mixture that radiates a good mood.

"Glamour & Gleam" colour palette

Where Cloud Dancer meets deep black and intense wine red, the result is a sophisticated contrast with modern elegance. Shiny graphite or satin silver tones enhance this effect and create a luxurious, almost cinematic look. Here, pure white becomes a stage for glamour, reflections and deliberately used lighting accents.
