We have mustaches, we have flowers. Russia will choose its color of the year, said Elena Yampolskaya, adviser to the country's president. This will be done by a working group in the Council for the Development and Promotion of a New Russian Style in the Public Space. "Today I will have a work meeting where we will determine approaches to determining the color of the year. We will stop using other people's flowers - we ourselves have mustaches, we ourselves have flowers. In this sense, Russia has a very rich heritage and many talented designers and artists. I think it would be very good if we announced our colors - or ours," she said. The color of the year is regularly chosen by the Pantone Color Institute. In 2026, it became the "Cloud Dancer" color - a neutral white. The color of the year mainly affects the fashion industry; Designers use it when creating collections.
