Its all the trends in manufacturing. In the early days colors were in then things went light, then to darker and who knows what will be next.
The neutrals are ok but after a few years of everything basically "tan" that gets old. We chose the light maple wood and have never regretted it. We sat in a dark cherry coach for a while talking and found out the walls felt like they were closing in so dark is cozy but it's hard to see in there.
All anyone to can do is buy one closest to what you like then add your own touches to make it "yours".
