Bathroom colours over the last 20 years

Having traded since 1987 MBK has a history of bathroom design in the suites sold to clients over those years. In the late eighties and early nineties, people were ripping out suites in the glorious colours of Penthouse Red, Avocado, Bahamas Beige, Pampas and Primrose and replacing them with the pastel shades of Pink, Ivory, peach and whisper cream, white was only sold with traditional suites. In the late nineties and early 21st century we rarely see a coloured suite, all the colour is in the accessories, the tiles, the flooring and designer radiators, gone are gold taps and chrome and white rule the roost. But we are advised Black is the colour, not sure I agree on my past experience with dark colours they are so difficult to keep clean, when did you last see a dirty white car? We will see but white is the colour available and now the interest is centred on the taps and more money is spent on the brassware than in some cases the pottery.
