millennial pink

Muted dusty rose

Millennial pink is a muted, dusty shade of pink—not quite blush, not quite salmon—that became ubiquitous in design, fashion, and branding during the mid-2010s.

The color dominated Instagram aesthetics, startup logos, and trendy restaurants, becoming so associated with a generation's visual taste that the name stuck: The café had the predictable millennial pink walls and marble countertops.
