The design industry is, understandably, up in arms over Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year: Cloud White. As an interior designer who applies neuroaesthetic principles to my work, I wanted to weigh in. This decision says far more about our cultural moment than it does about color itself.

Science has shown through the study of neuroaesthetics that our surroundings impact our health, finances, and relationships.
