Born between 1946 and 1964, Boomers are hardly defined by their age. Embracing online shopping, social media, and technology at large, they’ve welcomed a rapidly evolving world, with the most junior Boomers often feeling a decade younger than their age. As part of our Generational Palettes collection, PPG has curated three color stories to reference when designing spaces for Boomers.

Neo-Traditional
While more traditional Boomers feel some discomfort with how much the world has changed, many of the oldest Boomers have pride in shaping a new world where women and minorities have more freedom and stronger voices.

Airy Social Space
The idea of “anti-aging” is less interesting to Boomers than the idea of living well - indicating a consumer group with an easy acceptance about their age in life and place in society.
