One thing I’ve learned about history is that it was always way more colorful than it was presented. Classical era was not stark white, medieval was not muddy brown. They all popped with color and so did your pops.
Once again our perception of the 19th and 20th century are altered by the mediums which we experience them. Early photography, black and white movies of smoggy industrial districts. However if you witnessed a parade or a any other part of town it would be quite colorful.

yeah, most medieval castles were painted bright colours
Ah yes I remember the stories of how the pink castles offset the Black Death of the 1350’s.
But they could never hold back the tide of death metal!
Well, costumes nowadays are definitely black and white. And since the 19th century isn’t it a bit less colorful overall?
Older than that and I 100% agree, especially when colors would show how wealthy you are.
