Capturing the trends for the year ahead is tough, but every year, the Pantone Color Institute chooses a colour to describe the cultural zeitgeist of the next year. And this time, it has chosen a shade of white, 'Cloud Dancer,' as its Color of the Year 2026. The institute describes the shade as "a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity."
However, long before the institute's experts came up with this colour, it had been a classic shade for Bollywood divas. The shade symbolises peace and serenity in tough times like today, which is perfectly embodied by Bollywood actresses who have embraced this tone long before it was crowned with this prestigious mention. Here are seven times Bollywood divas embraced the shade.
