A refrigerator in Colour of the Year
True showed its Caliber side-by-side in a new Espresso colourway, in the year that Espresso was named Colour of the Year.
True's Caliber side-by-side refrigerator appeared at KBIS in a new colourway called Espresso, which was also named 2026 Colour of the Year by the shopping editors who noticed the fridge.
A refrigerator lasts about fifteen years. A colour of the year lasts one. We have no objection to a brown fridge. It is a handsome thing and it was standard issue in 1974. The two clocks in that sentence run at very different speeds, and only one of them is on the invoice.

The verdict
Buy the colour you will still like in 2041, which is a question nobody can answer for you and a trend report definitely cannot.
