I’m weird, but I like colors and real wood tones. It just kind of hurts me to see literally everyone it seems, live in this ‘aesthetic’ where everything is pure white walls and grey fake wood floors. And how this scheme has taken over every home, office, and retail space.

I guess it’s the equivalent of how all 80% cars are gray scale now? (black, white, or a gray/silver shade). Why has color become so ‘offensive’ the past decade?

It’s so bad that I’ve had folks tell me my blue car is ‘weird’. and my home, which is wood trimmed/floored with maple stained wood, and off-white tints in each room, is ‘gross’. My bedroom’s are robin’s egg blue, and my kitchen and living room are an off white yellow. I love it, especially at night when I use the low-temp lighting and it’s warm instead of HARSH. Folks keep telling me how ‘old’ it looks and that i need to repaint everything BRIGHT white and then put that shitty grey flooring over everything. I hate them.

    Yeah I also love color and warmth.

    Every new home ive seen is harsh, brittle, and boring. In sound and visuals (new homes often sound awful to have conversations in)

    For me, I’d never buy a house newer than the 80s, or if i did, I’d be redoing the whole thing. Nothing has character anymore becuase we are all supposed to be neutered and devoid of standing out or having feelings. Same with all cars being grey or white. Different is scary. And theres a a certain political class gaining traction in the world that also hates things that are different from them. Its really all part of a larger problem as a society , IMO.

    Sorry, went too deep.
