I am not too sure about black either but am less worried about the fad effect on that color.

Don't worry about the fad effect. Stainless steel is a neutral tone, meaning it will go with pretty much anything now AND down the line. Harvest Gold, Avocado etc, are not neutral colors, therefore they definitely have more of a fad effect.
For example, look at the Nexen tower downtown...that thing was built almost 30 years ago, yet because it uses a neutral steel color combo, it looks fresher then virtually all of the tan/gold/brown towers of the 80's.
Same goes with black, but I think stainless stell always looks nice in a kitchen. It has a much more professional quality about it
