Sadly in most of Europe this pattern is taking over too. There are just a few cities in between that seem like a colourful bastion against the boring mainstream.
And not in their architecture, it's seems to be more about the youth scene. Pilsen in Czech republic is a mostly grey boring city, but the people wear much more colorful clothes than in similar cities. The main difference I saw is more nature and a healthy pub culture.
