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.

Anthracite = timeless
White = timeless Soft yellow = yellowed
-> evokes feelings of romance, daydreaming, antiquity, and playfulness (apricot, pastel, pink)
Other associations: childlike, fragility, femininity from times long past. Many reject this.
White-anthracite combinations are quite cost-effective for exterior walls and look modern.
By the way, pastel tones are considered winter colors.
Indoors, anthracite and white provide a good base or background color to highlight other elements.
However, it’s also mainstream: 40 years ago, hardly anyone would have designed interior spaces with black. Black was associated with mourning...

My house has a white plaster finish with red accents, and the base, windows, and roof are anthracite gray. Personally, pastel colors are not for me; pastel yellow would be the worst. So, it’s definitely a matter of taste. I currently have a kitchen with a concrete look—I love it, but others would never have something like that in their home.
