NOT using a color you like just because it's trendy seems just as silly to me as people who blindly follow trends. I think people should pick what they like and avoid what they don't.
Having said that, if I was flipping a house, then yes, I'd go with things that were more popular just to increase the odds of more people liking the house and wanting to buy it. But I don't see myself ever flipping houses, so I go with what I like, which may or may not be the current trend.
Totally agree with this. Why avoid something simply because it might be a trend, especially if you happen to like whatever it is that is allegedly trendy? I just painted my first floor a warm shade of gray (greige?) and I love it. It looks clean and it's subtle, yet it emphasizes the the white trim, my wood (stained, not painted) kitchen cabinets, and some of the colorful artwork on my walls. The particular color happens to be on a list of best/trendy grays, but I don't mind; the most important thing is that I've chosen something that I like, since it's my house and I have to live there!
Is granite really a trend? To me it seems like just another choice now available. My house was born in 1962 and the only update to the house the lifetime owner made was...granite. In 1990!
Your point - There are many different colors of gray, so there are many choices.
My point - I don't care. Gray is gray. A slight variation in shade makes no difference to me, so I'm not going to "try to like" gray by changing from light gray to medium gray. I will simply choose a whole different color.

We just disagree. Gray is not just gray. It is a varied as green, blue or red.
Location: Finally the house is done and we are in Port St. Lucie!
