In 2026, Pantone selects Cloud Dancer as the Colour of the Year — a light, luminous white reflecting the growing demand for balance, clarity and well-being in the spaces we inhabit.
Within the material landscape, this choice reinforces the central role of white in contemporary design. The whites of Valchromat and of Viroc naturally align with this approach.
Valchromat White Pearl: white for serene spaces
White Pearl by Valchromat offers a balanced and luminous interpretation of white, enhancing natural light and visual comfort. Developed over seven years, it is the first light-coloured moisture-resistant MDF (MDF.HLS).
White Pearl is used in furniture, interior cladding, decorative panels, doors and partitions.
White in Viroc: architectural and technical expression
In Viroc, white reveals the material itself. Texture and surface variation add depth to façades, floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, kitchens and bathrooms.
Structural Viroc
Viroc can be used in structural applications, integrated into properly engineered construction systems.
Lost formwork
In lost formwork applications, Viroc panels deliver excellent performance due to their strength and durability.
Panels are cut transversely to their longest dimension, with a length of 1250 mm and a width defined by beam spacing plus 5 cm support on each side.
One white, two complementary approaches
With Cloud Dancer as Colour of the Year, 2026 confirms white as a central element in contemporary design.
White Pearl by Valchromat and white in Viroc demonstrate that this centrality can take on different expressions — sensorial, architectural and technical — always with a focus on spatial quality and the well-being of those who inhabit it.
