Pantone’s color of 2026 is creamy Cloud Dancer – and here are 12 ways to bring it into your kitchen

The color experts at Pantone have announced their official color of 2026: a creamy white shade called Cloud Dancer that we’ll be seeing everywhere over the coming months, from fashion to furnishings. It’s soft and timeless, and as TechRadar’s kitchen expert, I’ve put together a collection of appliances and accessories that will help you incorporate it into your home.

Earlier this year, KitchenAid announced that it was making all its automatic coffee makers available in soft Porcelain White, including one of my all-time favorites, the KitchenAid KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. It’s incredibly easy to use, produces consistently delicious and well-extracted espresso with the thickest crema I’ve ever seen, and during my tests, I found it a pleasure to use every morning.
