itel, a global tech empowerment brand, has partnered with Pantone, the world authority on colour standards, to introduce a limited-edition product collection inspired by PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, the official Color of the Year for 2026.
The partnership was announced in a statement signed by the Public Relations Supervisor of itel Nigeria, Simeon Shagba, who said the collaboration brings the bright white shade, symbolising freshness, energy and vitality into Nigeria’s growing tech and lifestyle space.
According to the statement, Cloud Dancer, which has already gained global attention in fashion and design circles, has been incorporated into a range of itel accessories, including the itel Buds 5 earbuds, MagSnap 10C power bank and the Classic 2 Pro Hair Clipper.
Shagba noted that the collection combines Pantone’s clean, luminous aesthetic with advanced functionality designed for young Nigerians.
He explained that the itel Buds 5 earbuds offer 32dB active noise cancellation, enhanced bass and up to 32 hours of playback, providing users with immersive audio for daily activities such as commuting and workouts.
The MagSnap 10C power bank, he added, features magnetic snap-on charging for easy and efficient power boosts, packaged in a sleek and portable design, while the Classic 2 Pro Hair Clipper is precision-engineered to deliver sharp, professional grooming with minimal effort.
“The collection seamlessly blends international trends with local flair, empowering Nigerian users to bring runway-inspired style into their everyday routines,” the statement said.
itel also reaffirmed its position as a leading brand in emerging markets, noting that it operates in over 80 countries and ranks as the world’s number one smartphone brand under $75, as well as a top feature phone brand.
“Cloud Dancer isn’t just a color, it’s a vibe. This launch merges technology, fashion and Nigerian energy for a fresh start to 2026.”
