Domain on Cloud Dancer, Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year

Ash Roberts on why a soft, natural white like Cloud Dancer works, with Thomas House as an example.

The short answer

Domain asked designers for their take on Cloud Dancer, Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year. Ash Roberts described it as

“a soft, natural white that feels intentional rather than a default.”

At Thomas House, soft whites keep the home bright and calm, and tie the new addition back to the original heritage cottage. White can look simple, but with light, texture and materials doing the work, it’s one of the most versatile tools we have.
