Evan Blass Reveals 2026 Color of the Year; Motorola Matches Hue

Key Takeaways

1. Motorola and Pantone collaborate on smartphone colors, often featuring the Pantone Color of the Year.
2. The leaked Pantone Color of the Year for 2026 is “Lightest Sky,” shared by leaker Evan Blass.
3. Motorola already has a device, the Motorola Razr 60, available in the Lightest Sky color.
4. It’s unusual for Pantone’s Color of the Year to be used before its official announcement.
5. Pantone is expected to officially announce the color by the end of the year, with Motorola likely to release more devices in this shade afterward.

Motorola and Pantone have worked together for a long time, with the phone company often releasing smartphones in Pantone colors, including the annual Pantone Color of the Year. Recently, a leaker has shared the Pantone Color of the Year for 2026, hinting at the main color Motorola will likely use in some of its upcoming devices.

Leaked Color Details

In a post on X, well-known leaker Evan Blass (@evleaks) disclosed that the Pantone Color of the Year 2026 is named “Lightest Sky.” This leak resembles one from last year, where the same leaker revealed the Pantone Color of the Year 2025, known as Mocha Mousse. After that announcement, Pantone officially confirmed the color, and shortly after, Motorola launched two smartphones in that new shade.

Motorola’s Current Use of Color

What’s intriguing this time around is that Motorola already has a smartphone featuring Lightest Sky. The device in question is the Motorola Razr 60, also referred to as Motorola Razr 2025 (currently available on Amazon for $599.99), which hit the market in April 2025. It’s not common for Pantone’s Color of the Year to be used months before its official announcement, but this leak suggests that it may be happening.

Anticipated Announcements

We anticipate that Pantone will officially reveal the color before the year wraps up. There’s also a possibility that Motorola will introduce some existing smartphones or new models in the Pantone Lightest Sky shade following the official announcement from Pantone.
