Episode 39: A Holiday Reflection on Peace, Possibility, and Pantone's Color of The Year
It’s a few days before Christmas. Let’s celebrate and talk about Pantone's perfectly timed announcement of Cloud Dancer as the 2026 Color of the Year. You may think it’s just… WHITE! But I explore why this softest shade of white represents exactly what we need right now – not empty space, but possibility space. Space for reflection, which we all need.
🔑 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why Pantone's choice of white (Cloud Dancer) signals our continuing, collective craving for peace, and how this connects to the natural whites of the holiday season
How white space in design is never empty but full of possibility – it's the pause that makes patterns sing and the breath between notes that turns sound into music
