There is a particular hush to a morning sky just after the light comes up, when everything reads as pale and weightless. That is the feeling I chased here. Cloud White leads the whole scheme, a soft warm white that never goes stark, and Pale Sky drifts in beside it like the faintest wash of blue-gray.
The middle is held by Soft Putty and Misted Sage, two quiet tones that keep the palette from feeling flat. One leans warm, one leans cool, and together they give the lightness some dimension. A little Warm Greige does the grounding, the deepest note in an otherwise airy set.
For 2026 this kind of low-contrast, high-key scheme feels exactly right, calm and unhurried without going beige and boring. Let Cloud White do most of the work, layer the soft middle tones where you want a touch of depth, and save the greige for trim or a single grounding piece.
