    People started decorating their homes based on a perceived resale value rather than what they wanted to live in.

        I lived above a busy road earlier this year. I realized that 95% of cars are either blue, red, or some shade of gray (including white and black). It was a real treat when a yellow, purple, or olive car came along.

      We almost didn’t buy our current house because it was all grey. Then I promised my wife we could repaint before moving in and now it is fine (the location was perfect for us, so we had to overlook some other flaws)
