Pink Chatter, in step with Cloud Dancer

Pink Chatter  with Cloud Dancer 

How does the Pink Chatter collection fit into your Cloud Dancer spaces? Furthermore, does the 2026 Pantone Colour of the Year announcement even matter?

Cloud Dancer Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year is hailed as a “whisper of tranquilly and peace in a noisy world”, by the institute. Accordingly, they describe it as lofty, symbolising calm influence in a world where we are once again cherish quiet serenity, relaxation, and focus.

Conversely, several entities, including the BBC, lament the colour announcement as feeling like a personal attack.

The choice applauded

Nonetheless, I applaud Pantone’s selection. Furthermore, I am not taken aback by the announcement. Indeed, I selected a comparable shade of white for the walls of my newly remodelled home back in late 2023. Undeniably, I sought to tame our home from my earlier strong colour choices.  Accordingly, the quieter colour allowed for the serenity we so needed after Covid lockdowns and the disruption of our home repair.

Beautiful backdrop for strong colour

Moreover, the relaxing powdery tones enabled the use of dark flooring throughout the house. Furthermore, it harmonised our eclectic collection of vintage and modern furnishings. The Cloud Dancer colour worked well with our beloved Uluru Orange, which served as accent colour in our main living space. Most importantly, it offered a beautiful backdrop for my art collection. Consequently, the genuine beauty of Cloud Dancer is its capacity to allow for creativity and experimentation.

Relevant choices

My personal selection of a Cloud Dancer-inspired colour in 2023 is, indeed, relevant to Pantone’s deeming it their colour of the year. The institute specifically tracks and studies global trends, including designer usage, consumer purchases and paint choices.

Brief history of Pantone’s Colour of the Year

The first Pantone Colour of the Year announcement, Cerulean, was released in 2000. Pantone was originally established in 1962 to standardise colours for the print industry.  The organisation’s colours eventually influenced graphic design and home goods manufacturing. Lately, you can see its influence paint colour manufacturing, too.

Cloud Dancer tones were perfect for displaying artwork and allowed for dark flooring and an accent of Uluru orange in our home.

Go bold or go home! Especially, when plans go astray!

Take the Abundance Series for example. I did not want Quickening and Abounding to simply imitate Hoo Hah and Ruckus, their inspiring works. Nonetheless, after a week or so they seemed to be doing just that.
