The "how people react" part is the real thing nobody talks about. Matte just feels better in the hand, no glare when you hand it over at a table, and people actually hold onto it longer instead of sliding it in a pocket. Went through the same switch a few years back and my only tip is go a little heavier on the card stock if you can, thin matte cards feel cheap fast. Keep a few glossy ones in the glove box for anyone who still wants to write on the back.

So we're all just supposed to pretend buyers aren't gonna walk in and think "welp, guess I'm repainting the whole kitchen." Fun joke aside, 11 days could just mean purple sellers price it lower to move it, not that people actually like it. I'd want to know the list price difference before trusting that stat, because bold purple screams "we had to drop the price twice" to me. Also eggplant island plus brass sounds great on a mood board and terrifying in a 9 by 10 foot kitchen.
