Pantone’s 2026 Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer, has reignited a familiar debate: is white even a color at all? Critics scoff. CB2, however, clearly disagrees, building its new outdoor collection around the same kind of airy palette. After all, supporters would argue its unpigmented beauty lies in being a blank canvas – setting a quiet stage for real, phone-free life to unfold, or offering the chromatic equivalent of a vacation.
Rather than jolt the eye with on trend thick stripes or neon pinks, CB2's new outdoor collection settles into serenity. Long-lined pieces like the faux-limestone coffee table and the even more elongated Sunbrella-upholstered sofa from the Oakley lineup – designed in collaboration with interior designer Kara Mann – create a soothing backdrop that lets color and pattern take the spotlight elsewhere.
