How do certain color combinations become "in"?

Re: "In" colors
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

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