I remember alot of BLACK, as well as earthy tones like olive, greys, light browns.etc, especially in the late 90s. As I remember it wasn't a very bright decade compared to the 00s; though I remember wearing alot of bright coloured clothes, fluoros, neons.etc. Overall, if I could pick one colour it would be BLACK.



This is the '00s, not '90s colors thread.

Also, sort of bright, HD (high-definition) type colors, like that pure ocean blue or orange like the fruit.

Decades have colors?  I think we're stretching it.

Every year and season have a new "in" color.

I've noticed earth tones are really big again.  Brick red and olive are popular.

Yeah, earth tones came back in during '05-'06.

The landscapes of gray, brown, earth tones and muted tones accented with bright spots of color that were in during the '80s are back again.

I think of the '00s as the white decade.

For me it's the "translucent" colors , mainly blue. You see from Pill advertisements to Direct TV info channels.

Yeah, things being translucent (like the iPod or the iMac) is huge. Also, silver is huge, as opposed to the black, gray, and white appliances of the '80s and '90s.
