    I forget what it was, something I read or watched… But there’s a link between the colours society picks for clothing, cars, etc. that correlates with society’s general mood on things. Monotones are negative or unsettled. When society is happier, it tends to go for colours

      I was just thinking how one could extrapolate a whole lot about American anxiety by this chart.

      Oh you wonder why I always dress in black? Why you never see bright colors on my back? And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone? Well there’s a reason for the things that I have on.

      Maybe the changes in color preference, but no way color preferences alone are correlated. Some cultures just prefer more color by default, and I’m pretty certain it isn’t because they’re happier. They just have a different default. I’m sure that default can change over time too, and this chart is also probably swayed by the fact silver cars tend to resale better, so sometimes people don’t choose their preference, but make a logic based decision.
