Pantone has officially unveiled its core color direction for 2026, the Atmospheric series. Inspired by subtle transitions in nature, from the depths beneath the water’s surface to sunlit skies softened by mist, this palette captures a visual balance that feels both light and deeply layered. The series includes eight emotionally resonant hues, ranging from airy whites and breezy blues to grounded grays, blue-greens, and warm, softened yellow tones, forming a serene and immersive sensory landscape shaped by air, moisture, and light. We now invite Homestyler designers from around the world to participate in the 2026 Pantone Atmospheric Design Challenge and share their creative interpretations of this color direction with the global community.
