Pantone names its Color of the Year for 2026

From: CNN

Capturing the cultural zeitgeist and trends for the year ahead is a tricky business. But every year, the Pantone Color Institute chooses a color to do precisely that. And it has settled on a shade of white, “Cloud Dancer,” as its Color of the Year for 2026.

The institute, which is considered a leading authority on color, forecasting trends and advising brands, described the shade as “a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity.”

As technology's grip on daily life tightens, Cloud Dancer represents a “calming influence in a frenetic society, rediscovering the value of measured consideration and quiet reflection,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, told CNN.

The color is “associated with new beginnings” and “signifies our desire for a fresh start,” Eiseman said.

For the institute's team of experts, everything is filtered through the lens of color. So every year since 1999, the program has sought to “highlight how what is taking place in our macro-culture at a moment in time is expressed through the language of color,” Laurie Pressman, the institute's vice-president, told CNN.

To choose a color of the year, they sift through current cultural, political and style references, settle on a color family and then focus on the precise shade — paying close attention to its name, too.

“The color name is critical. The minute you hear a name describing color, you instantly conjure up an image,” Pressman said.

This precise shade of white, with its “equal balance of cool and warm undertones,” was carefully chosen, she added.

“Had we gone for a white that was more optically bright, not only does it take away from the natural feeling and honesty and authenticity that we're looking for … it almost speaks to sterility and isolationism, because it's cold,” she said.

While different shades of white have long been ubiquitous in fashion, Cloud Dancer specifically embodies billowing silhouettes and natural fabrics like feathers, Eiseman said.

Pantone names its Color of the Year for 2026

From: CNN

Capturing the cultural zeitgeist and trends for the year ahead is a tricky business. But every year, the Pantone Color Institute chooses a color to do precisely that. And it has settled on a shade of white, “Cloud Dancer,” as its Color of the Year for 2026.

要概括未来一年文化潮流和趋势并不容易。但潘通色彩研究所每年都会选出一种颜色来为之定调。今年，潘通选定名为“云上舞白”的白色色调作为2026年度代表色。

zeitgeist /ˈtsaɪt.ɡaɪst/ 表示“（某一特定历史时期的）时代思潮，时代精神”，英文解释为“the general set of ideas, beliefs, feelings, etc. that is typical of a particular period in history”

tricky /ˈtrɪk.i/ 作形容词，表示“难办的；难对付的；棘手的”，英文解释为“If a piece of work or problem is tricky, it is difficult to deal with and needs careful attention or skill.”举个🌰：I'm in a tricky situation - whatever I do I'll offend someone. 我的处境真有点儿难办——我无论怎么做都会得罪人。

settle /ˈset.əl/ on sth表示“选定，决定”，英文解释为“to agree on a decision”举个🌰：Have you settled on a name for the baby? 你们决定给宝宝起什么名字了吗？

The institute, which is considered a leading authority on color, forecasting trends and advising brands, described the shade as “a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity.”

作为色彩、趋势预测与品牌色彩顾问的权威机构，潘通形容这款白色“柔和、均衡，蕴含宁静感”。

authority /ɔːˈθɒr.ə.ti/ 表示“威信；权力；管辖权”，英文解释为“the moral or legal right or ability to control”举个🌰：The United Nations has used/exerted/exercised its authority to restore peace in the area. 联合国行使其权力以恢复该地区的和平。

2）表示“官方机构；当局；官方”，英文解释为“a group of people with official responsibility for a particular area of activity”如：the health authority 卫生当局。

billowy /ˈbɪl.əʊ.i/ 表示“又大又软的；充满空气的”，英文解释为“appearing large and soft or filled with air”如：a blue June sky filled with billowy white clouds 六月蔚蓝的天空中飘着一团团白云。

imbue sth/sb with sth表示“使…充满…；将…灌输给…”，英文解释为“to fill something or someone with a particular feeling, quality, or idea”举个🌰：His poetry is imbued with deep, religious feeling. 他的诗歌充满了深厚的宗教情感。

As technology's grip on daily life tightens, Cloud Dancer represents a “calming influence in a frenetic society, rediscovering the value of measured consideration and quiet reflection,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the institute, told CNN.

研究所行政总监莉雅翠丝·艾斯曼（Leatrice Eiseman）在接受CNN采访时说，在科技愈发主导我们生活的当下，“云上舞白”代表着“在纷乱社会中的一种平静力量，让人们重新体会慎思与静心的价值”。

frenetic /frəˈnet.ɪk/ 表示“发狂的，狂乱的”，英文解释为“involving a lot of excited movement or activity”举个🌰：After weeks of frenetic activity, the job was finally finished. 经过几个星期的疯狂忙活，工作终于完成了。

The color is “associated with new beginnings” and “signifies our desire for a fresh start,” Eiseman said.

艾斯曼指出，这种白色寓意“崭新的开始”，也“象征着我们渴望重新出发”。

1）表示“表示；意味着”，英文解释为“If an event, a sign, or a symbol signifies something, it is a sign of that thing or represents that thing.”举个🌰：These were not the only changes that signified the end of boyhood. 这些不是表示男孩时代已结束的唯一变化。

2）表示“（用符号或手势）表达”，英文解释为“If you signify something, you make a sign or gesture in order to communicate a particular meaning.”举个🌰：Two jurors signified their dissent. 两个陪审员表达了他们的异议。

🎬电影《我，机器人》（I, Robot）中的台词提到：What does this action signify? 这个动作是什么意思？

For the institute's team of experts, everything is filtered through the lens of color. So every year since 1999, the program has sought to “highlight how what is taking place in our macro-culture at a moment in time is expressed through the language of color,” Laurie Pressman, the institute's vice-president, told CNN.

潘通色彩研究所的专家团队把色彩当作观察世界的方式。副总裁劳里·普丽斯曼（Laurie Pressman）在接受CNN采访时表示，自1999年起，他们每年都会选定一种颜色，展示当下宏观文化如何通过色彩语言呈现。

To choose a color of the year, they sift through current cultural, political and style references, settle on a color family and then focus on the precise shade — paying close attention to its name, too.

选择年度色的过程包括梳理文化、政治和风格趋势，先定色系再定色调，还要特别考量颜色的命名。

sift /sɪft/ 表示“仔细检查；筛查”，英文解释为“to make a close examination of all the parts of something in order to find something or to separate what is useful from what is not”举个🌰：The police are sifting the evidence very carefully to try and find the guilty person. 警察在非常仔细地检查证据，试图找出罪犯。

“The color name is critical. The minute you hear a name describing color, you instantly conjure up an image,” Pressman said.

普丽斯曼说：“颜色命名至关重要。人们在听到某个颜色名称的瞬间，就会自然在脑海里生成画面。”

conjure /ˈkʌn.dʒər/ sth up表示“想象出；联想起”，英文解释为“to make a picture or idea appear in someone's mind”举个🌰：The glittering ceremony conjured up images of Russia's imperial past. 辉煌的典礼让人联想起俄罗斯帝国昔日的景象。

This precise shade of white, with its “equal balance of cool and warm undertones,” was carefully chosen, she added.

她进一步指出，这款白色兼具冷暖底色的平衡，是经过反复斟酌后才最终敲定的。

undertone /ˈʌn.də.təʊn/ 1）表示“（非主要的）隐约的颜色、气味或味道”，英文解释为“a colour, smell, flavour, etc. that is part of something but not the most obvious part”举个🌰：The elephant's pale grey skin carries undertones of violet. 大象的皮肤在浅灰色中带着一丝紫色。

2）表示“（文章或讲话的）含意，弦外之音；（事件或情况的）蕴含意义”，英文解释为“a particular but not obvious characteristic that a piece of writing or speech, an event, or a situation has”举个🌰：I thought her speech had slightly sinister undertones. 我认为她的话里有点儿不祥的意味。

“Had we gone for a white that was more optically bright, not only does it take away from the natural feeling and honesty and authenticity that we're looking for … it almost speaks to sterility and isolationism, because it's cold,” she said.

她说：“如果我们选择一种更具视觉亮度的白色，不仅会失去我们所追求的自然感、真实感……甚至会让人联想到冷漠的苍白感和孤立感，因为色调太冷了。”

optically /ˈɒp.tɪ.kəl.i/ 表示“光学地；视觉地；视力地”，英文解释为“in a way that relates to light or the ability to see, or to what someone sees”举个🌰：These lightbulbs are bad optically—they cause a lot of glare. 这些灯泡的光学性能很差，它们会造成大量眩光。

authenticity /ˌɔː.θenˈtɪs.ə.ti/ 表示“确实性；真实性；可靠性”，英文解释为“the quality of being genuine or true.”举个🌰：The authenticity of her story is beyond doubt. 她讲述的事情的真实性不容置疑。

sterility /stəˈrɪl.ə.ti/ 1）表示“（动物或人的）不育；（植物的）不实”，英文解释为“(in animals and people) the condition of being unable to produce young, or (in plants) the condition of being unable to produce plants or crops”

2）表示“枯燥乏味；毫无新意；无生气”，英文解释为“the state of having no imagination, new ideas, or energy”举个🌰：They complained about the emotional sterility of their marriages. 他们相互倾诉了对缺乏激情的婚姻的绝望。

3）表示“消过毒的，灭过菌的”，英文解释为“the condition of being free from anything that can cause disease”

isolationism /ˌaɪ.səlˈeɪ.ʃən.ɪ.zəm/ 表示“孤立主义”，英文解释为“the political principle or practice of showing interest only in your own country and not being involved in international activities”

While different shades of white have long been ubiquitous in fashion, Cloud Dancer specifically embodies billowing silhouettes and natural fabrics like feathers, Eiseman said.

艾斯曼说，虽然白色在时尚界向来常见，但“云上舞白”尤其体现了蓬松的形体和羽毛等自然材质的风格。

ubiquitous /juːˈbɪk.wɪ.təs/表示“无所不在的”，英文解释为“If you describe something or someone as ubiquitous, you mean that they seem to be everywhere.”举个🌰：Coffee shops are ubiquitous these days. 如今好像到处都是咖啡馆。

意思相近的形容词：

📍pervasive表示“到处存在的，到处弥漫着的，遍布的”，英文解释为“Something, especially something bad, that is pervasive is present or felt throughout a place or thing.”如：the pervasive influence of mobile phones in daily life 手机在日常生活中无处不在的影响。
