Pantone, the famed color factory, on Dec. 4, 2025, released its shade for 2026: Cloud Dancer, described as "a billowy, balanced white imbued with a feeling of serenity."

It sure does feel like 'Cloud Dancer' and 'rage bait' are signs of the times, or subtle messages from companies that cultural conservatism is back.

What will the new year bring? USA TODAY readers shared their 2026 predictions with us.
 

We asked, you answered: What readers predict for 2026

Your hopes and predictions for 2026 shared one theme: A heavy heart. Here's what readers told us for our latest Opinion Forum.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on Dec. 18, 2025.
 

With 'Trump babies,' Dr. Oz said the quiet part out loud

Dr. Oz's remarks may get written off as a joke, but there is nothing funny about the undercurrent of what his words actually mean.

A pregnant woman lies on her bed with monitoring devices placed on her belly as she gets ready before delivering her child at the maternity ward of a hospital in Paris on June 29, 2022.
 

America forgets mothers like me the moment we give birth

I smiled through checkups, believing my own script: 'I am OK. I am thankful. I am happy.' But my mind quietly betrayed me.

Sonny, USA TODAY commentary editor Blake Fontenay's dog.
 

A dog and a divorce: How one made the other a little more manageable

If we had gone to the shelter on a different day, someone else might have adopted Sonny. I don't even want to think about the other alternative.

President Donald Trump makes an announcement at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Dec. 22, 2025.
 

Dems might take back the House. Impeaching Trump would be a mistake.

Should they win a House majority less than a year from now, Democrats should use their newfound power with restraint.

The memorial for Charlie Kirk at the Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sept. 11, 2025.
 

Love or hate Charlie Kirk? The government can't censor you.

Both of these cases are clear free speech violations and show why the First Amendment is so vital to our freedom as Americans.

Flowers, signs and police tape at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, after a shooter killed two students and injured nine on Dec. 13, 2025. On Dec. 18, authorities discovered the body of 48-year-old Claudio Manuel Neves Valente in a New Hampshire self-storage unit. Neves Valente is the suspected gunman in the Brown shooting and another two days later that left an MIT professor dead.
 

I was a gun safety advocate. Then a mass shooting hit my school.

Young people like me are tired of being pawns in a political game when our lives are quite literally at stake.

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fingerprints a migrant after he was apprehended in Virginia on Jan. 15, 2025.
 

Don't normalize ICE terrorizing communities based on skin color

Congress should require full transparency from ICE, strengthen oversight and end practices that reduce human beings to Pantone color codes.

All of the headlines, none of the chaos.
