A Timex Ceramic Design Story Featuring Our Finest White Tiles

White has always been the quiet hero of design. But in 2026, it finally took centre stage. Pantone’s announcement of ‘Cloud Dancer’ as the 2026 Colour of the Year marks a historic moment, the first time a pure shade of white has been crowned. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a shift toward serenity, purity, and intentional minimalism. A colour that reflects light, amplifies space, and invites calm into every corner.

At Timex Ceramic, white has always been more than a colour, it’s a canvas for craftsmanship. A playground for texture, format, reflection, and artistry.

To celebrate Cloud Dancer, we bring forward our most iconic white tiles, each one interpreting the shade in its own poetic, tactile, and architectural language.

1. GM-21

The Iridescent Mosaic That Reflects Emotion

If Cloud Dancer had movement, it would look like the GM-21 mosaic.

A delicate interplay of hand-crafted irregular pieces, soft gloss, and subtle rainbow highlights, this mosaic turns white into a living, breathing surface.

Why it embodies 2026 aesthetics:

• Micro-textures that capture natural light
• Organic geometry that feels artisanal
• A pearly glow that elevates spa bathrooms, vanities, niches, and feature walls

GM-21 proves that white mosaics don’t need colour to create drama, texture is enough.

2. Blinds Snow

Where Cloud Dancer Meets Architectural Calm.

The Blinds Snow series transforms Pantone’s Cloud Dancer into a serene architectural texture.
With its soft vertical flutes, gentle shadow lines, and refined glossy sheen, this tile brings depth without distraction, a perfect modern expression of white.

Why Blinds Snow is a 2026 design essential:

• Soft, calming fluted texture that adds structure to minimalist spaces
• Glossy highlights that gently catch natural light
• Elegant verticality that visually elongates walls
• Works beautifully in bathrooms, living rooms, vanity backdrops, spa spaces, boutique interiors

From the bathroom counter wall to the cosy corner vignette, Blinds Snow turns any white surface into a luxurious sculptural backdrop.

This is Cloud Dancer in its most tactile, architectural form.

3. GM-11 Pearl

White with a Jewel-Like Surface.

Pearl White elevates simplicity through precision. Its bevelled geometry creates elegant patterns with a soft reflective sheen, offering a luxuriously structured look.

Design notes:

• Perfect for creating panel-like features
• Adds light-bending highlights without loud gloss
• Works beautifully in boutique retail, powder rooms, and corridors

It’s Cloud Dancer, but dressed in couture.

4. GM-81

White, Reimagined as Art

A tile that feels like a sculptural installation. GM-81 uses sweeping radial lines to transform walls into contemporary murals.

Why architects love it:

• Creates dynamic, oversized patterns
• Functions like a carved artwork
• Ideal for reception walls, galleries, show apartments

This is where Cloud Dancer meets architectural storytelling.

Perfect for:

• Kitchen dado walls

• Warm modern homes that want design without distraction

A quiet tile with a powerful design presence.

6. Kyoto River A & B

The Soft Water colour White.

The Kyoto series captures the gentle flow of painted ceramic traditions. The faint water-washed edges and artisanal gloss give white a serene, handcrafted warmth.

Where it works beautifully:

• Spa-inspired bathrooms
• Meditation corners
• Wabi – Sabi interiors that celebrate softness

Kyoto makes white feel soulful, not sterile.
