More about the pink color trend
We all remember about Millennial pink as one of the biggest color trends ever, started five years ago with the Pantone Rose Quartz color of the year ( do you remember this post? ) and become mainstream a couple of years ago. Millennial Pink took off as a design trend as it was the perfect Instagram-friendly color, so its popularity raised in parallel with the huge growth of the social media. Times are changed and it is very interesting to see how this color trend is shifting, from one side towards softer hues of pink, on the other sides to brighter ones recalling the Y2K pink aesthetics.
Starting from the concepts of holistic design and designing for well-being we explored last month, the choice went towards a very soft pink – well represented by the cherry blossom, and the Sakura aesthetics.
