Pantone, the color naming and validation company, works with Motorola to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/motorola-edge-60-fusion-launch-3540623\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">validate the displays and cameras<\/a> on select smartphones.<\/p>\n<p>The two brands also team up to deliver exclusive phone colorways, and we\u2019ve seen Pantone-colored Motorola phones since 2022. Pantone picks a \u201cColor of the Year\u201d annually, and Motorola releases a special edition of a phone in that color. This time, Pantone\u2019s 2026 Color of the year may have leaked, and there\u2019s a twist.<\/p>\n<p>According to a post by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/evleaks\/status\/1991096469714284812?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1991096469714284812%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=notebookcheck.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Evan Blass<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter), the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026 will be \u201cLightest Sky\u201d (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Evan-Blass-leaks-Pantone-Color-of-the-Year-2026-but-Motorola-already-has-a-phone-in-the-same-hue.1166529.0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Notebook Check<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Evan Blass X Pantone 2026\"  alt=\"Evan Blass' leak of the Pantone 2026 Color of the Year.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Evan-Blass-X-Pantone-2026.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The color number code for Pantone Lightest Sky is 11-4804 TPG, and it\u2019s described as a pale, muted grey-blue hue. What\u2019s interesting about Lightest Sky is that Motorola already sells a phone in this color. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/motorola-razr-first-foldable-3559013\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Motorola Razr (2025)<\/a>, the brand\u2019s budget foldable, is available in the Lightest Sky color with a textured, light-refracting finish.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Pantone hasn\u2019t shared anything official regarding its 2026 Color of the Year, as it usually reveals the color in early December. While Evan Blass\u2019 leak claims Lightest Sky will be that color, a recent article from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/rdaniel-foster\/2025\/11\/13\/designers-say-theyve-cracked-pantones-2026-color-of-the-year-pick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Forbes<\/a> revealed designers overwhelmingly think the 2026 Color of the Year will be a shade of green. Some of the designers Forbes interviewed predicted Pantone would go with a neutral or bluish colorway for its calming effect, a description that fits Lightest Sky.<\/p>\n<p>However, Blass has a track record of accuracy, especially on the topic of Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year. He currently predicted Pantone\u2019s 2025 Color of the Year would be Mocha Mousse on November 30, 2024. Pantone confirmed Mocha Mousse as the 2025 Color of the Year a few days later on December 4, and Motorola brought the colorway <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/motorola-razr-mocha-mousse-color-3506143\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to the Razr Plus (2025) and Edge 50 Neo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If Pantone\u2019s 2026 Color of the Year turns out to be Lightest Sky, Motorola will already have the Razr (2025) available in that shade. In that event, we could see special-edition colors of the Razr Plus (2025), Razr Ultra (2025), or another Motorola phone to match Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
