eventually

This is not a difficult conclusion to come by; for example, look at how everything in the world was black and white before the 20th century (they may try to convince you that this was not the case, but trust the evidence of your eyes). Children’s clothes were white, and now they burst out in “pink” and “blue.” Why? Because hue was invented to sell you more products:

If the “color” of your clothes or accessories goes out of style, it’s time to find new ones. If the paint on your walls is too “millennial gray,” it’s time to pay Behr some money. If your cheeks are too red, or not red enough, or your lips are too pale or your complexion uneven: thirty-two and a half brands are waiting to rob your pocketbook.

Color is a commercial venture. It is not real. There is only light and dark, and that which exists in between. To subscribe to color is to bend the knee to the bourgeoisie. There is no way out of this. If you are indeed an independent mind, or do not want your life to be ruled by the capitalist class, you must reject all color in your life.

Of course the question comes to mind: How has Big Color managed to convince so many of these delusions? It’s simple. The brain, being raised in a condition in which all around it claim to be able to see colors, learns, as a survival response, how to hallucinate color based off of the physical characteristics (Color Informing Qualities, or CIQs) of an object. Why does a color dim when light decreases? The brain cannot make out its CIQs as well, and can therefore not as accurately prescribe its associated “color.”

It has been widely shown in the literature that children who have not been subject to the process of Infant Color Acquisition Survival Response (ICASP) — commonly prevented by restricting CIQ perception via the surgical removal of areas associated with the phenomenon, notably the lens, cornea, retina, and optic nerve — had a 78% lower chance of claiming to perceive color into adulthood.

Our species evolved as fundamentally social, so those who cannot perceive a supposed aspect of reality that they are told is an essential quality of all things face the risk of being shunned. The brain, anticipating this in its early plasticity, develops the CIQ shorthand so it can pass of as seeing this “essential quality” in the manner ostensibly experienced by their elders.

The institution of color is something that has only existed in the past century, but Big Color has their tentacles reaching far into the past. In 2018, they used a state-of-the-art paint bucket time machine to bribe Issac Newton into publishing Optiks. In order to retroactively prevent JFK’s world renowned Denunciation of Color, they paid the CIA to have him shot. Perhaps no malevolent act of theirs is more notorious than burning down the Library of Alexandria to cover up the oldest evidence of their crimes. There is no enterprise more morally bankrupt, more corrupt, or more powerful than Big Color.
