As the summer months are heating up, a few familiar things come to mind – warm weather, sunny beach days, barbecues, social gatherings, al fresco dining … and millennial pink.

Millennial pink has been a timeless colour feature in fashion since its debut in 2012, and it has been a statement in several home decor themes and is still the rage in 2019.

Colours have manifested over time to add meaning to varying aspects of our lives. Whether it be to communicate a message or make a statement, as such, colour has become a key component in the advertising and fashion industries.

Though many are confused about the actual shade of millennial pink, we believe it looks something like this: a cool-tone, bubblegum pink with a faint resemblance to faded/peachy salmon.

Nonetheless, this colour is known for its subtle, yet flattering appearance. This androgynous shade, blends effortlessly into home décor.

The colour was used in several high-end fashion commercials world-wide and as such, the colour pink was no longer associated with Barbie and childhood bliss, but it became a grown up, sophisticated colour, which brought new meaning to the idea of subtle chic.

Millennial pink is a staple of its namesake generation’s style and pretty much goes with anything.
