Minimalism doesn’t imply grayscale. Consider the color fields of the abstract expressionists or In C by John Cage (grayscale would be octaves or perhaps perfect intervals only). Desaturated everything is the aesthetic of contemporary Scandinavian design which is rooted in minimalism. It will go out of vogue eventually. Most things in the US at least are not designed, they are just built (90% of all houses). Architects aren’t even in the picture.
