Product colour of the future

My parents recently repainted their kitchen and my mother, who is famous for her lack of artistic talent, chose the paint colour, a cool grey (although can it be called a colour?).  I have to say, she's pulled an absolute blinder, as the grey she has chosen seems to compliment everything put against it incredibly well.  So it got me thinking, as I have said in previous posts, eventually our current obsession with black or white products will wane, so what then?  I would suggest this and will be using it in the not too distant future.  The future is bright, the future is grey!

Product design, food and colour

I was recently nosing around on Behance and saw the most amazing food photography, (much better than my effort above, made on a barge whilst partaking in vino and buffoonery with my amigo, The Wine Badger).  What struck me about the behance pictures was how well the colours worked together and how inspirational they were for coming up with colours for products.  I think I should make much more effort in future to get more colour into my designs and not play so safe as most people seem to with white, black and grey with a highlight.  Can't promise this on my next design, but maybe the one after that!
