Pantone Color of the Year 2026: Cloud Dancer and the World of Hermès Whites


Pantone 顏色研究所正式公布了2026年的年度色：Cloud Dancer（雲舞者）。這是Pantone自2000年以來，首次選擇純白系色調作為年度色，象徵著寧靜、反思與簡約的美學。在當今充滿喧囂與變遷的社會中，這抹「雲朵般飄逸的白色」不僅代表了對平靜的嚮往，更預示著設計、時尚與生活方式的未來趨勢。

 

On December 4, 2025, the Pantone Color Institute officially announced its Color of the Year for 2026: Cloud Dancer. This marks the first time in Pantone’s 26-year history of annual selections that a shade of white has taken the crown, symbolizing serenity, reflection, and minimalist aesthetics. In our frenetic, ever-changing society, this “billowy, balanced white” evokes the gentle drift of clouds, offering a beacon of calm and hinting at trends in design, fashion, and lifestyle for the coming year. 


說到白色，無法不提及愛馬仕——這家法國奢華品牌以精湛工藝聞名，已推出超過250種獨特色調，其中白色系列更是經典中的經典。愛馬仕不滿足於單一的「白」，而是透過細膩的底調變化，創造出多層次的白色語言，讓每件產品都如藝術品般獨一無二。

When it comes to white, Hermès—the French luxury maison renowned for exquisite craftsmanship—stands unparalleled. With over 250 unique shades in its palette, Hermès elevates white beyond the ordinary, infusing it with subtle undertones to create layered expressions of purity and timelessness.

以下介紹幾款愛馬仕經典與新穎的白色：

•  Blanc（純白，代碼01）：最基本的白色，宛如雪地般潔淨無瑕，常見於 Birkin 和 Kelly 包款。它的純度讓人聯想到無垢的起點，適合全年配搭，保值性極高，是入門投資者的首選。

•  Craie（粉筆白，代碼10）：帶有輕微灰色底調的柔白，源自法語「粉筆」的意象，給人煙燻與微紅的層次感。這是愛馬仕白色中最受歡迎的款式，常見於 Epsom 或 Togo 皮革，增添知性優雅，保養時需注意防污。

•  Nata（奶油白）：2019年季節限定色，擁有細膩的黃色底調，如西班牙文「奶油」般溫潤明亮。比 Craie 更亮麗，適合春夏穿搭，已成為收藏家追逐的珍品。

•  New White（新白）：2023年推出的創新色調，帶有霧氣般的微妙魅力，不似 Blanc 的純白，而是融入輕柔的霧藍或煙灰，宛如雲端飄浮。完美詮釋了現代白色的多變性，常與玫瑰金配件搭配，展現低調奢華。

•  Blanc Himalaya（喜馬拉雅白）：這不是單一顏色，而是漸層傑作，從頂端的雪白漸變至灰棕底，模擬喜馬拉雅山脈的壯麗。使用稀有尼羅鱷魚皮製作，價格高達數十萬美元，是愛馬仕白色的巔峰之作，象徵極致工藝。


 

•  Blanc (Pure White, Code 01): The foundational white, as pristine as fresh snow, commonly featured on Birkin and Kelly bags. Its unadulterated clarity evokes a blank canvas, versatile year-round and a top investment choice with exceptional resale value.

•  Craie (Chalk White, Code 10): A soft off-white with subtle gray undertones, inspired by French for “chalk.” It adds smoky and blush-like depth, popular on Epsom or Togo leathers for an intellectual sophistication—though it demands careful stain prevention.

•  Nata (Cream White): A 2019 seasonal shade with a delicate yellow undertone, evoking the Spanish word for “cream” in its warm, luminous glow. Brighter than Craie, it’s a collector’s darling, ideal for spring-summer ensembles.

•  New White: Introduced in 2023, this innovative hue brings a misty allure, blending faint fog-like blues or grays into a barely-off-white. It harmonizes with Hermès’ white lineup while asserting its own subtle personality, often paired with rose-gold hardware for understated opulence.

•  Blanc Himalaya (Himalaya White): Not a single shade but a gradient masterpiece, transitioning from snowy white at the top to gray-brown depths, mimicking Himalayan peaks. Crafted from the rare Niloticus crocodile, it’s Hermès’ pinnacle of white artistry, fetching hundreds of thousands of dollars and symbolizing unparalleled craftsmanship.

愛馬仕的白色不僅用於手袋，還延伸至絲巾、鞋履與家居用品，每一款都經過工匠手工染色，確保色澤持久。這些白色在二手市場保值率高達原價的150%以上，尤其在白色成為年度趨勢的2026年，更將成為時尚投資的熱門選擇。

 

Hermès whites extend beyond bags to scarves, shoes, and home goods, each hand-dyed by artisans for enduring vibrancy. They boast resale values up to 150% of retail, especially poised for a surge in 2026 as white trends skyrocket.
