"In" colors

Post by Ernie »

How do certain color combinations become "in"?

By "in colors," you mean like how pastel and neon colors became a major thing in design and fashion during the 80s?

Yes. And right now houses walls and floors and sometimes the outsides are whites and grays and blacks.

Are you talking about decor or fashion? This is what was "in" during the early 1970s

Some of the flow of trends is planned by the fashion and design industry. Google "color of the year 2024".

I've always liked orange, probably because it is unusual in clothing and home items.

I checked, but none of the recent colors reflect the white and grays and blacks of housing colors right now.

For homes, a lot of it is what looks good on Zillow. With the internet there has been a standardization of home design and decor to some sort of least offensive common denominator. If you look at enough Zillow ads of newer and upscale homes they all start looking exactly the same. It is what sells.
