Colour has a profound influence on our emotions, perceptions and behaviours, often operating beneath our conscious awareness. As Pantone's 2026 Colour of the Year, Cloud Dancer (11-4201) embodies a soothing serenity, inviting us to pause, reflect and recharge in a world fraught with distractions.

This gentle, airy white hue is more than just a visual delight; it's a psychological balm. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute, Cloud Dancer represents a promise of clarity, encouraging us to simplify, focus and listen to our inner voices. Its subtlety inspires creativity, allowing our minds to wander and innovate.

The emotional resonance of colour is deeply rooted in our biology and culture. Research suggests that light colours like Cloud Dancer evoke feelings of positivity, calmness and hope, while darker shades often elude negativity and sadness. Saturation and hue also play significant roles, with vibrant colours like red and orange stimulating high-arousal emotions, and cool tones like blue and green promoting relaxation.

Cloud Dancer's selection reflects a collective yearning for simplicity, mindfulness and calm in an increasingly chaotic world. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, this colour reminds us that stillness and introspection are essential to our well-being.

As the calendar flips to a new year, many of us resolve to eat healthier, but the enthusiasm often fades as the months go by. The key to success lies in setting realistic goals and cultivating habits that nourish both body and mind.

Establishing a healthy relationship with food is a journey, not a destination. It's about making conscious choices that prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods, while still allowing for flexibility and enjoyment. Start by identifying your why: what drives you to want to eat healthier? Is it more energy, better skin, or simply feeling more confident in your own skin?

Once you've pinpointed your motivation, set specific, achievable goals. Instead of vowing to cut out entire food groups, aim to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your daily routine. Try adding a serving of leafy greens to your breakfast omelette or swapping your afternoon snack for a crunchy apple.

Building habits takes time and patience, so focus on progress, not perfection. Begin with small, manageable changes that you can sustain over time. Prep meals in advance, explore new recipes, and don't be too hard on yourself when you encounter setbacks. Every healthy choice is a step in the right direction.

One effective strategy is to focus on addition rather than subtraction. Instead of cutting out foods you love, try adding healthy options to your diet. This mindset shift can help you feel more empowered and less deprived.

Surround yourself with support and resources to help you stay on track. Share your goals with a friend or family member and ask for their encouragement. Explore cookbooks, blogs, or social media accounts that inspire you to cook and eat well.

As you work towards your goals, celebrate your successes and learn from your setbacks. With time and consistency, healthy eating will become second nature, and you'll be well on your way to a happier, healthier you.
