When I spent 3 months backpacking India (twice), coming back was among others a fashion shock. Indian wardrobe is so colorful! A lot of orange, red, pink, blue.
Then comes the western depressing 'fashion'. In winter months, practically whole cities dress in some variant of black or grey. The only ones often not following the trend are LGBTQ+ communities, sometimes. But even in summer, colors mentioned above are a rare sight. I stick out of crowd with my orange shirt like a sore thumb.
Same with cars - I hate grey cars with passion, it tells me the owner (at least first buyer) has 0 imagination, passion or well f*k any clue what pretty is. OK, worse things happen in life but seeing sport cars for >200k$ in f**ing grey or white makes sad view of something that should inspire envious looks and smiles (sound usually makes up for a bit, but still).

At least at home and outside of work, I try to buy as many colorful (sometimes oriental) cloths as possible. I wonder whether our infatuation with grey just mirrors the rise of depression in society.
