# Yes - I guess it's the decades that we think of as having a particular cultural character
The 90s are gold, the 80s silver, the 70s chocolate brown, the 60s magenta, the 50s dark green, the 40s a shiney dark grey, like graphite, the 30s are dark blue, the 20s light grey, the 1910s dark brown and the 1900s a nice creamy yellow.
