@haraldaustad: The 2010s was defined by Millennial Grey in combination with white and black colors. From 2010 all the way to 2020, grey was the color of the decade, specially seen in interior design and renter friendly apartments, but also in fashion. Minimalism was trending and the color trend was an extremely limited palette of neutral greys. Is it time for a transformation? Do you want a makeover of the last decade, or do you like it without color? #millenial #grey #gray #2010s #colortrend

Not to defend this trend in any way, but I also think part of it was a backlash against the excessive stuff - the clutter - that so many people who were renting and buying at this time experienced growing up. It felt calming to them rather than sterile.

This was actually more of a Gen X design that unfortunately got pinned on millennials. However I as a millennial did paint my apartment pink in 2010…

I think also it was a callback/backlash to the brown/beigeness from the 90s. It's hard to imagine now but gray seemed very crisp and fresh in the late 00s when it started. But now it's so tired.

There was a big push, right up to the 2008 crash, to “flip” houses. Investors bought them, stripped them to the most basic neutral everything and either rented them out or resold them. Those of us who were renting were often not even allowed to hang a picture, let alone paint whole walls. So everything remained neutral.

Finally seeing colors in cars. I love seeing an orange or green car. Blue hasn't made it back for some reason.

The 2010s were colorful. This is nonsense. Kesha, Gaga, glitter everywhere, statement necklaces.

The grey/beige “greige” color palette had a strangle hold on everyone!

Funny that you play Party rock anthem on the background. That is the opposite song choice for millennial gray. In this era I had more color in my clothes than I have ever worn.

The grey flooring is the worst. I'm not sure who thought this up but flooring should always be in a natural wood color.

interestingly,makeup was quite bold, vivid, and colorful in that decade. even women's fashion was also pretty colorful. there was also a trend of glam interior design with lots of pops of color (like hot pink, teal and gold) on a background of black, white and gray.

It really wasn’t…it was a -sub- group not “everything” or “everyone”! There was tons of colour, pattern and creativity in the 2010s.

I always have a hard time to choose my favorite era talking colour and style, maybe 60’s maybe 70’s maybe 90’s…. BUT i know what my least favorite is, and i think we all can agree. It’s this booooring grey era. So sad. Suiting everybody is suiting nobody.
