How many of you out there have Stainless Steel appliances in your kitchen? And how many of you would love to upgrade to stainless, once your old white/black/ivory/avocado colored stove finally breaks? Well, you may want to think twice about that design decision–according to appliance manufacturers, Stainless Steel may soon be as outdated as that Harvest Gold fridge you’ve still got tucked away in the garage!!
Manufacturers are always trying to be on top of the latest trend, and as with everything, appliance colors rise and fall. Stainless Steel however has managed to hang on much longer than many initially thought. However with all of the major companies turning out new colors this year, is it signaling the end of the Steel Age?

Whirlpool is debuting it’s newest line called White Ice with a glossy white finish. SubZero (maker of Wolf stoves <drool>) is producing a glossy black stove this year. And GE is introduction a new line with a matte gray finish called Slate.
What do you think? Is Stainless so over, or is it here to stay?
