Exterior house colours - latest trends ? Has French Grey had its day ?

We are about to start an extension to our kitchen and will probably get our house repainted at the same time, so I have been perusing various colour cards. Our house is Edwardian and currently a magnolia type color, which I am really bored with.

I do like light greens (eg the F&B French Grey which gets mentioned on here all the time), however those colours are becoming practically ubiquitous where I live, and I am starting to wonder is it a trend which is almost past and will be unfashionable before we have even finished painting.

Has anybody else noticed any other exterior house colours becoming more popular ? Are there any trends in this area, for those in the know ?

Please...NEVER....paint it toilet pink. I hate to see this colour on the outside of houses.

Like these lovely specimens ?!

No, I can categorically state that it will not be painted any form of pink. Not even if it is fashionable !

The whole of your house, or just the woodwork?

FWIW, a neighbour has recently painted their woodwork a blue / grey which I like a lot, and I saw a stunning calamine pink front door on a country cottage which looked terrificly stylish, if you had the courage.
