to beige or not to beige ???

Field trips are great and they are even better if you can meet and learn from industry leaders. What I love about getting out is that you always take something home. Sometimes it is in your head only, other times it is a stone, or a picture or even something totally different. This very interesting quotation I took with me while listening to a very energetic Interior Designer keeps me wondering if it is ture or not? How do you feel about beige? It is a neutral color and as a Designer I would say there are a lot of different shades of beige ... but beige seems to be out of style, old fashioned and maybe that is good for now!
