PLAY-DOH x Pantone Color of the Year 2026 Cloud Dancer is a creative play tool that invites all ages to reshape how we intentionally engage with the world.
you’ve got be kidding lmao
Next year’s color of the year is, um, beige. Well, why not? The most boring of all colors, whose use is mostly to serve as a neutral and unnoticed background, deserves its time in the sun, so congratulations, Pantone 11-4201.

I’m sure somebody also… Whoop, there it is:
By the way, that IKEA color is also for this year:
Just curious: Are there Traffic Lights of the Year?

They can’t have sold out…
