Baby Blue & Sun Orange – a color duo for balance

At the start of the new year, we at Comazo usually take a look at Pantone’s trend colors. This time, however, the official selection simply didn’t resonate with us.
A quiet white called “Cloud Dancer” as a color trend? Too muted. Too interchangeable. Too meaningless.
So we decided to set our own accent.
With Baby Blue (PANTONE 13-4308) and Sun Orange (PANTONE 16-1257), we introduce a color duo that may seem contradictory at first glance – and is precisely for that reason so compelling. Cool meets warm, calm meets energy. Two colors that don’t search for each other, but find each other in 2026.

Be still. Feel alive.

The past few years have been loud. Digital. Accelerated. Colors became codes – interfaces between humans and machines. Inspired by screens, virtual worlds, and artificial intelligence.

Yet with every new technology, the desire for its opposite continues to grow.

Baby Blue reflects a growing need for calm and mental clarity. It stands for moments of retreat. For stillness that is not empty, but clarifying. For the desire to slow down, even briefly – away from sensory overload, away from constant availability. The color evokes the sky, openness, and moments to breathe. A longing to reconnect with oneself, beyond screens and algorithms.

Sun Orange brings warmth into play. A color full of life, reminiscent of late sunlight and days that look forward. It embodies energy, optimism, and the desire for movement. Sun Orange is not loud, but alive – a luminous impulse that inspires courage and creates closeness. Not virtual. Not simulated. But real.

Together, Baby Blue and Sun Orange tell the story of a new balance. Of calm that gives strength. And of vitality that doesn’t need to be loud. Cool stillness meets vibrant warmth. Retreat meets renewal.

“For me, Baby Blue and Sun Orange express exactly what so many are searching for right now: calm that isn’t empty, and energy that feels real. Today, colors can be more than a statement – they can accompany us.”

A color duo for a time in which we use technology – but place ourselves back at the center.
