Ahh yes, good ole Avacado Green. :) My parents installed tons of it in their house that they built in 1969.

So it must be about time for it to make a comeback. Soon to be followed, no doubt, by a resurgence of Burnt Orange. :cool:

Now I may be missing a few trends here and there, but the next one I recollect is Mauve. My mom had an even higher concentration of that put in, when the Avocado Green got just too darned old-fashioned.

Having lived through all that, when my wife and I built in 1991, we chose neutral colors for all of our permanent fixtures. (Unlike at least one neighbor, who put in Miami Vice themed fixtures, in pink & blue. Or is that coral and aqua?)

So I am proud to be exacty as unhip today as I was 25 years ago. :D
