Baby Boomers, born between the mid-1940s and mid-1960s, are a generation that experienced significant cultural and societal shifts. They grew up during a time of post-war prosperity, witnessing the rise of television, the civil rights movement, and the advent of rock 'n' roll. This generation values tradition, community, and personal expression, having played a pivotal role in shaping modern society. As part of our Generational Palettes collection, PPG has curated three color stories to reference when designing spaces for Baby Boomers.
