Blue is Back

Our first night in Canada was spent at a motel that advertised "Retro Rooms, Retro Rates."
The rooms were indeed "retro." (But so was the price, so it was all good.)
We laughed at the blue toilet, admired the pink and black tiles, and even took pictures.
But a couple of days later we arrived at a Bed and Breakfast in a beautiful, modern home. And what color was the toilet in our bathroom? It was blue, of course.
So is it a Canadian thing? Or is just that if you hang on to that blue toilet, lava lamp, or anything else long enough, it will eventually come back into vogue?
