You read that white: Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is 'Cloud Dancer' This is the first time Pantone has chosen a shade of white. The company says it's "a lofty white that serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection."

Conde Nast closing down Teen Vogue while hiring Olivia Nuzzi @vanityfair.com is malpractice.
