Have you ever wondered why Millennial Pink is so insanely popular? Don't get us wrong, our wardrobes are well stocked with the hue and we rarely turn down a photo opportunity that involves décor or a wall in this shade of pink. But we're still curious as to why it got so popular so fast and why it's intrinsically tied to our much-discussed generation. As such, we decided to gain some insight from Jamie and Casey Davis, the designers and founders of Portola Paints. And when we asked the brothers why they think Millennial Pink took off as a design trend, their response was clear: It's fun and Instagram-friendly.
"With the rise of social media, young people have a stronger voice than ever before. The world is a crazy place to live in, and pink is a small way to brighten your mood and your environment," they explained. Plus, in general, pink has become more gender-neutral, which accounts for the wide appeal. Given their spot-on read as to why it's so popular, as well as their expertise in color creation, we decided to find out if they've been seeing any aesthetically appealing colors that boast that same buzzy appeal on the rise.
As for what's coming up next, you can expect to see—and potentially pose with—a rainbow of pastel corals and greens in your social media feeds, as well as your most stylish friend's décor scheme. Though both colors exude a bubbly spirit and a sense of optimism much like Millennial Pink does, they're also a lot softer. And as the Davis brothers explain, "there's a difference between what works in interior design and what's popular on social media. Certain pics will get likes for days, mostly prominent bright, poppy colors … but for practical interior spaces in everyday living, you have to find slightly more subtle ways to use the pops" of color.
To get ahead of the curve, read the color forecast of the seven specific shades of coral and green that are expected to blow up this year, and find out how to decorate with each.
The Color: A pastel shade of coral.
The Mood and Personality: Cheerful and bright yet understated and calm.
How to Use It: Finding the right shade of coral is tricky. Though it's a specific color, it's a total winner if you can pull it off. "It's a fun alternative to pink, depending on how you style it." And here's an example of pastel coral done well. The high ceilings and mostly all-white color scheme make the drapes the perfect pop of color to live in and to photograph. "A coral accent piece will give you all the feels of Stockholm, while coral walls will transport you to the desert." There are just so many ways to spin it. And if you do decide to use coral in a pink rather than a fabric accent piece, keep this pro tip in mind: "The variation in the plaster can take the edge off the vibrancy and make a fun pop color a little more usable," The Davises tell MyDomaine.
