The world is becoming colorless, why?

House designers did that for selling, people mistook show homes blank templates for ideal homes and took it home to make their houses bland too.

Mcdonalds does it because those shops don't last that long, and having a neutral, personality-less building is easier to resell (That's also why pizza hut buildings don't have those fancy roofs anymore- profit over personality. Most other restraunts won't want to buy a pizza hut roof.)

For cars, it's harder to sell a car that's red than one that's grey; some people hate red, most people are "fine i guess" with grey, and repainting your own car properly is too expensive for most people to bother with.

Adding colour costs extra nowadays, nobody has the money for it. Grey is a good carpet colour because it means an old or dirty or stained carpet usually looks the same grey compared to a white or a red or a blue. Patterns have personality, personality is harder to sell because statistically some people won't like it, wheras grey is boring enough that nobody hates it.
