    It’s the same thing that happened to the fair phone regarding the audio jack

    The noisy minority wants it, they yell, write on forums and complain, but they are statically nonsignificant as people keep buying the phone

    Same with colors. Why waste millions on cars and buildings dyed with colors no one might want instead of appealing to the broader consumer base?

    They are also are influenced by and influencing fashion and trends in color choice as well, just look at minimalism and brutalism. It is also cheaper and more efficient on the design and manufacturing to offer things in less specialized coloration

    Proof is that people keep buying stuff

    Same as with furniture. There is a reason why Ikea is a whole thing

    Going into the meta, imagine someone wants to buy a car. Inevitably, they will think as well on the day they will sell the car. What are you gonna buy? A car painted in a weird color? Or something that you know for sure no one will mind THAT much?

    Ithat, or you can go with the theory of the Pixies finally doing their takeover

      McDonald’s use to be a place for kids. They have since rebranded to let people know there’s stuff on the menu that’s for adults.

      Much of marketing to Americans is treating everyone like a monkey and using colors to trick them into buying your stuff.
