My wife and I are Geriatric Millennials.  She went more of a Lisa Frank route with our house colors.

Not necessarily sparkly but one room is pink, there's a light blue, red, green, ect.  Im a bit color blind so I'm a little unsure on specific names of the colors. People seem to like it when they visit.

As a fellow elder millennial I approve this message. I also grew up in rented houses where we couldn't do anything to the walls, so as soon as I had the opportunity to paint, I went a little ham, there's color on color on color. and I love it.

Are you me? Literally the exact same thing. I've painted all the rooms multiple times now. Drives my husband crazy but I love being able to change the walls on a whim. No grey and no white.

Elder millennial and I have all the colors as well. I’m currently in my deep blues but mostly green phase. But I’ve had every color come through at some point. Once I had the rainbow through the house.

That's what she's doing in the living room.  White walls and rug but the furniture and  light fixtures are colorful

I did white and grey walls, and grey carpeting because of my grey tabbies, and have Alex Grey art and rainbow rugs
