The Paint Color Trend That Makes Millennial Gray Look Modern Instead Of Dated

Throughout much of the 2000s, millennial gray dominated home design trends, serving as a cool neutral that paired perfectly with the rising desire for minimalism. These days, the term millennial gray has more of a negative connotation, especially among social media users who have grown tired of the monochromatic gray look associated with millennial home decor. That said, many homeowners don't want to part with their neutral color palette, even if their gray walls are looking a bit dated. Luckily, all you need to freshen up cold millennial gray walls in any room is another coat of paint in a more modern tint.

Opting for a warmer gray with soft beige undertones is quickly becoming the new trend for those who love an understated wall color. If you want your neutral-hued home to look current, but you're not quite ready to let go of gray, then it might be time to try the popular Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. Unlike the cooler shades of gray that rose to popularity in the late 2000s, Revere Pewter is more of a relaxing greige paint color, perfect for a soothing home. To really lean into this modern paint color trend, consider color drenching an entire room in your home for a seamless, elevated look.

If you're looking for warm-toned gray paint colors that keep home design neutral but cozy, then Revere Pewter is something to consider. On the Benjamin Moore website, the paint color (also known by its other name, Ice Formations) is described as "an iconic neutral that provides a versatile bridge between warm and cool tones." Much like other gray-beige colors, Revere Pewter can easily pick up green undertones and pairs well with a range of different colors. For example, you can take advantage of this neutral by pairing it with bold accents via colorful furniture, throw pillows, rugs, and other decor. Revere Pewter can work well with navy blues and deep greens, or bright primary colors to create a beautiful contrast.

Not ready to commit to repainting all of your walls? Try Revere Pewter out on the trim or cabinets in a room instead for a small but impactful upgrade. Regardless of how you incorporate it, this versatile paint color offers all the benefits of a modern neutral while still making your home look warm, lived in, and inviting. So, if you're a former millennial gray enthusiast who's well overdue for a paint upgrade, then it's time to bust out your brushes.
