So you are ready to move on from the over-done farmhouse grays and earthy browns? Ready to embrace colorful walls and bright, fresh hues?
Was that a resounding YES? I thought so!
If you’ve been charmed by the interiors of Clary Boysbyshell, Ashley B. Hanley, or Caitlin Wilson then it’s time to test out the pretty color palette of the Grandmillennial!
As a self-proclaimed Grandmillennial decorator who gets to test out lots of paint colors for clients, I’ve honed in on the loveliest paint colors of the Grandmillennial look, and I’m sharing my favorites with you today.
The Grandmillennial palette is characterized by fresh, vibrant hues that have a bit muddier tone to them. They feel traditional but not staid…bright but not garish.

Now don’t rush out and buy a gallon of one of these hues. Paint colors are always affected by the unique lighting situation in a room and the other color pairings. I recommend painting a swatch on a piece of white poster board then taping it to the wall to see how the artificial and natural lighting you have impacts the paint color.
