Cloud Dancer is Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year. And that’s boring. So we’re ignoring Pantone and saying Transformative Teal is poised to be everywhere. And we’re not mad about it.
Looking to get in on the trend? We think you should, especially because teal is said to evoke feelings of calmness, balance and clarity—which are things we all could use a little more of in the modern world. Plus, it’s a fun way to add some playful sophistication to your living space or wardrobe.
Here are some product recommendations, hand-selected for our January/February 2026 issue.
