Framing with our version of Pantone’s 2026 colour of the year

We always love highlighting Pantone's colour of the year through our custom frame designs.

This year, Pantone chose Cloud Dancer. The colour is a soft, creamy white that brings warmth, calm, and quiet sophistication to any space. Far from stark or cold, this nuanced neutral creates an ideal foundation for custom framing. Here are some ideas.

Thick, grooved mouldings

Creamy, light tones truly come to life on thick, grooved mouldings. The dips and curves of this profile type accentuate shadows and dimension without competing with the artwork.  ​

Textured woods

Textured wood mouldings in a creamy white finish add an extra design element by allowing the natural grain and organic undertones to peek through. This creates a ton of visual interest and a beautiful contrast that the design world will never stop loving. ​

Floater frames

A neutral white floater frame is the perfect pairing to any art. Both timeless and current, it will complement a work without distraction, making it gallery-ready for any space.

Mats

Subdued white mats are a go-to for framers. This mat choice offers a clean, modern border that feels soft and refined rather than bright white. For a more curated look, try layering a few of these same mats to play with the elegant diversity of tone-on-tone.

​Choosing a fabric mat introduces texture to the colour, adding a subtle sense of luxury to the overall design.
