You are then basically targeting a specific demographic. If you add in white, black and silver, you will basically double your sales, if not triple them. (This is only conjecture, not based on any numbers).

But if you actually do a study and determine what colours the public would prefer, then you stand to multiply your sales even greater.
I think this is the truth too. Taste differs among the age groups. To target all groups, you'd need more than just the "trendy" colours. Besides, you all know how long "trendy" stays "trendy"...

When I started to think about the colours for our livingroom (which would be about 2 years ago), the "trendy" colours where blue/red/green/etc, all in bright colours. And puur white for the walls.

When we had finished the livingroom (last fall), we found out we had used the "today's trendy colours", an off-white and dark brown.



So, add black, white and silver to your trendy colours and you'll make a lot of people happy (at least, you'd make me happy!)
