70s: Orange and brown

We sadly depleted our strategic teal reserves by the year 2000

Material Color Palette
I don't even understand what this means lol
So grey and white?
I saw an interesting argument, I can't remember where, saying that bland white/beige has become so popular for interior decorating because we are inundated constantly with colourful advertising everywhere in our lives now. So, to be able to retreat to a home without vivid colours blasting you in the face everywhere you look is a relief.
I think that's a fascinating idea, but we continue to seek colour in our screens and such so I'm not sure if we truly want relief. I mean, I don't. I get mad excited when I enter a room with actual colour in it.
My family are contractors that typically service wealthy clientele. The brains behind the painting and decor side of things told me that people prefer white/beige because it maintains it's value. From what we can observe with this post, teal took 10 years to financially bomb. White is still going strong and can be mixed into a very wide colour palette with furniture and decor, etc..
I seem to remember neon pink and green were both still kind of a big deal for most of the 90s lol
And clear! Totally forgot about that one.
Oh yeah! Big time! I knew so many people who had this phone lol

Well a lot of us went emo or goth, so black?
But then the skaters just went baggy, lots of girls went baby pink and hello kitty.
Every group had their own shape of jeans, we wore shirts on top of shirts.
A lot of it was just the cheapest stuff that could be made in the colours no one hated and it's not gone away since.
But it feels like every shirt had a logo or picture on so I'd say "graphics" was the colour of the 2000s.
If you were poor and didn't live anywhere near a major city ... it was more like:
1980s: were like 70s: Orange and brown
1990s: were like 80s: Neon and pastels AND 90s: Teal
2000s: all the fads, colours, designs and pop culture started to get mashed into one giant kaleidoscope monoculture
kaleidoscope monoculture
2010's+ this was rebranded as "rainbow"
PC case gray (grey?)
Yep. Nailed it, lol
We still love our teal in San Jose
Hell yeah!
You and Anaheim aren’t so different
The Windows 95 desktop default color!
The fact the Charlotte hornets aren't the main team in the sports square is unforgivable
I was talking about this with a coworker on monday, I hate basketball but I'm about to give in buy a hornets hat just because the logo is so fucking sick. If black dudes can wear baseball hats and not give a fuck about the team so can I but for basketball.
I wasn't sure why it was my favorite color until this post made me see clearly where I come from
I was just looking into this CNC with a familiar color scheme...
Man I remember loving the Anaheim ducks, even though I lived on the opposite of the world from any ice rinks or hockey culture, I guess I just liked the logo and I think I had a mega drive game with them or something.
Also my yak bak
