Generation X, born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, experienced a unique blend of cultural shifts and technological advancements. They grew up in a time of transition. Generation X is known for their independent and self-reliant nature, shaped by the economic challenges and societal changes of their time. As part of our Generational Palettes collection, PPG has curated three color stories to reference when designing spaces for Generation X.

These colors evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere reminiscent of their childhood homes. Generation X, having grown up during a time of transition, often values nostalgia and a connection to the past.
