Congratulations on picking the most depressing color in the spectrum.

When’s the last time anyone has seen anything brown and said “wow that looks sharp”.....me either.

I was hoping for Orange, but I wasn’t optimistic.

Better then that awful gray and white they are painting everything.

I do not mind those as accent colors but for the love of mike people. Stop being afraid of color. It will not bite.

When I dated a gal in home economics at ISU, she asked me if I knew why emerald green was the popular color that year. Being a dumb ag student I said I didn’t.

“That color was picked by a committee 5 years ago. then the dye makers went to work, the cloth makers, the designers, the marketers, etc.” fashion is created.

Folks, Trump picked the new fashion called MAGA 12 years ago. It has been a slow process getting it into the culture but it is here. It is our job to keep it popular.

If we don’t there is some one out there working on a new fashion that we won’t like. might be hula hoops.

This drives the marketing industry, especially clothing, but even remodeling, furniture, even paint colors.

Everyone feels the need to keep up with the *new* and *latest* fashion trends.

When we remodeled our kitchens, we ignored the current trend of gray. We did the first one in one house in natural maple, with Pergo flooring and a light colored countertop. We just happened to look online and the house recently sold, and it still has the same 25 year old kitchen that still looks great from the pictures.

The last house we sold also used natural maple cupboards and a dark countertop as contrast and it fits the old house very well. A modern kitchen in an old house just wasn’t going to work.

We never cared about style. That way nothing every goes out of style. Nobody is going to buy the house and grumble about the kitchen being gray that it’s so 2000’s, like the blue, pink, and yellow bathrooms from the 50’w and 60’s, or that horrible harvest gold, burnt orange, avocado green from the 70’s.
