Pantone announced its colour of the year for 2026: the Cloud Dancer. And while it may have received a mixed reaction from netizens, Tamannaah Bhatia is surely not disappointed. In her new post on Instagram, she shared pictures in different white fits and said she has always been a ‘cloud dancer’.

Tamannaah Bhatia in stylish whites

The actress shared pictures in a white top, where her layered gold chains and a pearl necklace drew all the attention. While most people might find themselves confused about styling whites, it’s a versatile colour that can easily be elevated with not just gold and pearls, but also coloured gemstones like rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.

In another picture, Tamannaah flaunted her gold stack of bracelets, earrings, and a watch along with her single neck chain. She shows how playful stacking up can make whites look even more stunning. There are times when she has also worn single, minimal pieces with a natural makeup look.

A picture in a white-robe style fit also has an interesting twist: a round necklace with a diamond centre-piece and small gold hoops. In all her pictures, her beauty game is fresh and rosy, with a hint of gloss. Her tresses are styled messy, loose, and fuss-free.

Just a few days ago, Pantone, which enjoys a following of 4 million on Instagram alone, announced the colour of the year. Its caption read: “A lofty white neutral whose aerated presence acts as a whisper of calm and peace in a noisy world. PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer symbolises a calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection. A billowy white imbued with serenity, it invites true relaxation and focus, allowing the mind to wander and creativity to breathe.”

“In motion and in pause, Pantone Colour of the Year 2026, PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer drifts between light and ethereal, a living calm that invites renewal, vision in serenity and creative release.”

Netizens react to the announcement

Most people didn’t take it well and took to the comments to express their disappointment. A user wrote, “There are 27 days left to fix this. Let’s go.” Another pointed out it’s not a colour. A follower asked, “Toilet paper was the inspiration?” A comment read, “Colour is slowly fading from our world, but I refuse to dim.”

While many may have been disappointed, Tamannaah Bhatia surely isn’t complaining. And the list will certainly include those who love a good white.
