Pantone’s Cloud Dancer: What Hairdressers Really Need to Know About 2026’s Trending Hair Colour

Pantone has officially revealed the Colour of the Year for 2026, called Cloud Dancer: a soft, airy, marshmallow-white. Perfect for moodboards or interiors, but in the salon?

Let’s be honest, to take the hair to this pure white Pantone shade, you would be lifting to a level that is dangerously damaging, and as professionals, we’re not risking our clients' hair for a trend. So, as much as we love the Pantone Colour of the Year, we also love healthy hair, and that’s a trend we’ll stick to every year.
