@MostlyHarmless think this varies where you are in the world. I haven't been to france for a few years, but each time I go I always check for the lack of pastel colours in the supermarket paint dept, they go bold there

@Heartmindbalance @MostlyHarmless
The Victorians are especially famous for their healthy greens ...

That seems right. As a kid in the 1970s, there was a lot of yellow/orange furniture in the house. You never see a bright orange kitchen these days.. -

@MostlyHarmless I despise the popular color palette of our times. It is so unutterably BORING. I despise it with a despite to out-despise all but my despite for the current US president and his ilk.

At least in Germany the palette in the 70s was much more colourful.But yes, totally agree about today's status quo.

@MostlyHarmless Motorcycles are still pretty colourful, mercifully, but the 1990s were still wild in comparison with most current models.
I'm staging my own quiet rebellion against the katzenkotze in 2026 - by buying colourful tech. My new earbuds are blue, and my rugged phone case is mostly bright orange
I sometimes forget how wild the '90s colour schemes were.
So many ADV bikes were in shades of grey/black, with a few having white as an alternative, when I was looking a few years ago.
Fortunately Moto Guzzi still had a colour palate.

@MostlyHarmless I suspect that a lot of this is the rise of landlording too.
They want something that is easy to rent and paint over.
Grey walls, grey floors etc were all the cheapest options.

omfg I was literally JUST researching this year's colors on Pinterest and was about to make a post about how this the palette could literally be labeled: "ICE uniform"Not exactly though. Because ice also wears the uniforms of FBI, border control, and about 10 other federal organizations. Sometimes they wear yellow. Sometimes they're out of uniform and just wear all black. They do wear a lot of cargo pants. They love cargo pants.

I have a bright orange kitchen. Sadly, it's because it's forty years old and I can't afford to update it. -

They are from the cargo pants generation. -

And that's why we painted our house purple.

Check out my red wall. My wife picked our other colors, which fill out the rest of that 1920’s palette, but this living room accent wall was all me. A hundred years ago, getting this color would’ve required lead oxide. -
