I've noticed that many new houses are being built in white and anthracite, and that anthracite colors are often chosen for kitchens or bathroom tiles. As someone who prefers soft yellow-cream-white/soft yellow-cream-green or soft yellow-cream-light wood tones, I would like to know what you appreciate about the white-anthracite combination and whether anthracite has any depressing effect on your mood.
I'm also interested in what associations you have with this color scheme, what memories or impressions you connect with it. And in your opinion, has it always been exactly what you wanted and liked, or have you been inspired by the numerous current examples?
Feel free to share your thoughts freely and emotionally; I’m not sure if this question can be approached purely intellectually.

I’m curious when something new will appear, because I can’t watch this anymore — my feet fall asleep from looking at it.
Same here. But I haven’t seen anything “new” that I like better.
@Pinkiponk Colored houses (shades of yellow, green, brown) are definitely present in our neighborhood; these are city villas with white-framed windows. However, this trend goes back a long way... So basically nothing new. But I can’t think of anything better either, and I guess many others don’t either, so these combinations just remain.

But I've already told my husband that the next time we repaint, the house will be pink. I would love a shade of pink, but due to my age, I don’t even want to start with that. The soft yellow is a compromise for us.
When I was renting, I lived in a house that looked pink to me (the homeowner insisted it was "terracotta"—typical man). I really liked it and would choose a color like that immediately.

I find pink houses, for example, really terrible. Soft yellow or apricot, on the other hand, seems quite acceptable to me and also looks quite nice with plants in the garden.

Well... I would describe black and white and everything in between as "non-colors" or neutral. Or as @tumaa calls it: timeless.
You can combine any color, wood, or whatever with it, and it works.
Example bathroom: white-gray-anthracite, and you add color accents with towels, bath mats, decorations, etc.
