90’s Summer Color Palette

Nothing captures the carefree joy of a throwback summer like bold bubblegum pinks, sun-bleached denim blues, and the kind of citrusy orange that takes you straight back to a Popsicle-stained childhood. This week’s Media Monday Color Palette is a nostalgic nod to the ultimate 90’s Summer Color Palette, a vibe that feels like rollerblades on hot pavement, beach umbrellas with fringe, and mixtapes made on a Walkman.
Let’s talk color names, because honestly, they’re half the fun. From Double Bubble and Hubba Bubba (because you know we chewed both) to Sunny D and Kodak Gold, this palette is pure retro magic. Mom’s Jeans gives that perfect dusty blue rinse while Koosh Ball rounds it all out with an unexpected pop of green that makes everything feel playful and fresh. It’s the palette equivalent of a summer road trip with the windows down and The Spice Girls on repeat.
Whether you’re designing social content, revamping your summer product line, or just craving a little color inspo that feels like Saturday mornings and blockbuster rentals, this one’s for you. Add a splash of the 90’s Summer Color Palette to your next project and let the good vibes roll.
