I’m exactly in the same place. I still think there must be something wrong, when someone applies for a job where i work at and they say, they were born 2006.

I saw an interesting argument, I can’t remember where, saying that bland white/beige has become so popular for interior decorating because we are inundated constantly with colourful advertising everywhere in our lives now. So, to be able to retreat to a home without vivid colours blasting you in the face everywhere you look is a relief.
I think that’s a fascinating idea, but we continue to seek colour in our screens and such so I’m not sure if we truly want relief. I mean, I don’t. I get mad excited when I enter a room with actual colour in it.
My family are contractors that typically service wealthy clientele. The brains behind the painting and decor side of things told me that people prefer white/beige because it maintains it’s value. From what we can observe with this post, teal took 10 years to financially bomb. White is still going strong and can be mixed into a very wide colour palette with furniture and decor, etc…
70s: Orange and brown
80s: Neon and pastels
90s: Teal

Admiral, Sir, you are showing your age. We’re already almost a quarter century in.

I don’t even understand what this means lol
Cement, wood, aluminum.
Trade fun colors for things you’d see in one of those minimalist houses.
So grey and white?
Basically. Kind of what car dealerships look like. They have 4 shades of silver or gray and maybe a red and blue.
Does that blue come in teal?

Lol, i mean, I chose to stop at 2000s for brevity.
But you’re not wrong, lol. It’s still 2020 in my mind because time just kind of stopped there for me.

Pink? I’ve kinda had my head in the sand for a while, but is there really that much pink around nowadays?

I seem to remember neon pink and green were both still kind of a big deal for most of the 90s lol
And clear! Totally forgot about that one.
Oh yeah! Big time! I knew so many people who had this phone lol
Well a lot of us went emo or goth, so black?
But then the skaters just went baggy, lots of girls went baby pink and hello kitty.
Every group had their own shape of jeans, we wore shirts on top of shirts.
A lot of it was just the cheapest stuff that could be made in the colours no one hated and it’s not gone away since.
But it feels like every shirt had a logo or picture on so I’d say “graphics” was the colour of the 2000s.
PC case gray (grey?)
I was thinking eggshell white because everything was an iPod for a while.
Yep. Nailed it, lol
If you were poor and didn’t live anywhere near a major city … it was more like:
1980s: were like 70s: Orange and brown
1990s: were like 80s: Neon and pastels AND 90s: Teal
2000s: all the fads, colours, designs and pop culture started to get mashed into one giant kaleidoscope monoculture
2010’s+ this was rebranded as “rainbow”
