Born between 1981 and 1996, the aptly named Millennial generation became the first full generation of the technological age. An experience driven group, they value not only widespread reach and global influence, but the opinions of friends and social media groups when exploring the design world. As part of our Generational Palettes collection, PPG has curated three color stories to reference when designing spaces for Millennials.
Eclectic Contemporary
These colors evoke a sense of energy and creativity, reflecting millennials' desire for self-expression and individuality. Mixing contrasting and complementary colors allows millennials to experiment and create visually striking combinations.
Relaxed Transitional
These versatile shades seamlessly transition between different design elements. Warm grays, soft blues, and muted greens, offer millennials the flexibility to create spaces and visuals that effortlessly flow and adapt to their evolving needs and preferences.
Mellow Modernist
This palette combines soothing and muted tones with a touch of flair, creating a harmonious and contemporary look. These colors reflect millennials' desire for balance and well-being while incorporating subtle pops of modern hues.
