You may notice that the predominant color in your home is an odd shade of gray. Although you didn't attach much importance to it, you end up liking this color. It is not as bland and impersonal as white, nor as bleak or monotonous as black, for it is somewhere in between.

Recently, TikTok popularized a name for this gray tone, causing some apprehension in many people. We present themillennial gray“.

This is a shade of gray that has become popular with millennials. If your sofa is gray, your curtains are gray and even your pets are gray, you can be considered part of this viral decor trend known as the “age of gray millennials”.

Millennials, the minimalist generation

Some TikTok users believe that there is a reason behind the popularity of millennial grey, as many people seem to be attracted to this color.

According to the arguments, millennials had a backlash against the exuberance of reds and browns that were loved by most baby boomers.

This generation now seeks a more immaculate, modern and clean style, opting for gray as a way to express this aesthetic desire.

One commentator noted that possibly the preference for millennial gray is due to the fact that many parents have adopted a rustic aesthetic with shades of red and brown.

In keeping with this vision, millennials are now looking for a sense of neutrality in their decor.

It is difficult to predict with certainty the preferred color scheme of Generation Z, as aesthetic preferences can vary widely among individuals.

However, given the current trend towards valuing individuality and creative expression, it is possible that this generation will opt for a more eclectic and color-diverse approach.
