Every few years, a new generation of design graduates will enter the industry and "rewrite the rulebook" by simply doing the opposite of what the previous generation did. We will thus have to live with the five-year flat/unflat fashion cycle for the foreseeable future.

That used to be coordinated by the Color Association of the United States. Here's a 2005 report for HP, announcing that green was out and white was coming in: http://www.hp.com/large/ipg/assets/bus-solutions/color-trends-in-the-corporate-world.pdf http://www.hp.com/large/ipg/assets/bus-solutions/color-trend...
