I also don't know why everything is always classified as "in," "in fashion," "grandmotherly," etc.: Honestly, I don't care much if I like something, whether it is "in" or not. And when it comes to colors, the development plan decides and within that, personal taste. Everyone should do it however they want. I do not presume to criticize people with a different taste in color. In general, I like (the above criticized) pastel colors: These are not obtrusive and still bring a certain character to a neighborhood.
