Pantone’s Colour of the Year: 2026 (Cloud Dancer)
The 3 colours to build a bedroom scheme fast
We picked these three bedroom-ready tones because they cover the full “designer” range: light base (Cloud Dancer), warm mid-tone (Shifting Sand), and a deep anchor (Stretch Limo). They also sit inside Pantone’s own suggested palettes around Cloud Dancer, so they’re designed to work together.
- Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201 TCX)
- Shifting Sand (PANTONE 14-1210 TCX)
- Stretch Limo (PANTONE 19-4005 TCX)

Color Scheme
Scheme 1: Cloud Dancer + Shifting Sand
- Wall colour 1: Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201 TCX)
- Wall colour 2: Shifting Sand (PANTONE 14-1210 TCX) (best on the bed wall or lower panelling)
- Bed: Rivery iron upholstered bed (smoked walnut / warm oak tones)

Scheme 2: Stretch Limo cocoon

- Wall colour 2: Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201 TCX) (ceiling to stop it feeling heavy)
- Bed: Hamilton iron bed (for lift + contrast)

Scheme 3: Cloud Dancer base
- Wall colour 1: Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201 TCX) (all main walls)
- Wall colour 2: Stretch Limo (PANTONE 19-4005 TCX) (trim/doors/frames for structure)
- Bed: Arran Low Foot End (deep brown / bronze-black)

Pick your Pantone shade, match the bed finish to the same warmth (wood for warm, brass for glow, iron for contrast), and the whole room will look designed—not just decorated.
