The range has always been there. Color varieties are all created from the same primary colors and black. What has changed is the demand, and it is based on many things including the political climate, the influence of European, or what England's Queen prefers. You've heard of the Victorian Era in fashion, furniture and colors. At the end of Queen Victoria's reign,people started changing the colors of their homes to reflect a new art movement in the US..."Deco", with its bold colors.
Post war years saw colors like pink, grey and turg with black. The 60's saw color as an expression of a new freedom with bold combinations of many colors. But I think the greatest change has occured starting in late 2000. Bob Vila was the first DIY guru, then came big box stores and massive DIY stores like Home Depot, along with a new type of celebrity. We learned on HGTV that color is good - all color, any color. It's just paint! So go for it, then change it in a year or so. We are no longer afraid of color! And the variations is shade of every color makes the selections massive. And why not offer all these colors. The biggest cost is in the color chips. If no one wants to buy that color, it never gets mixed.
But there is one organization (actually a second one out of Canada) that decides, each season of each year what the color trends will be and how the color shades will differ from past seasons. One season all reds are a "barn red" meaning there is a little brown in them. The next season is fire engine red. And one company decided all of those things. Know who it is? Pantone. You may have seen that word in a paint store, but they also are used by fabric and clothing mfgs. which trickles down to domestics like sheets and towels...If you wanted to redecorate your house this year in dark rose and forest green ( a popular 80s combo), good luck finding those colors in upholstery, carpet, wall paper, etc. Pantone went a different color direction this year! Sorry!
