Quote HistoryQuoted: Those awful 70's colors...they sucked then but hey- to each their own. Cars are all grey, black, white or silver now...its boring. It's like we're losing any concept of fun, happiness or hope. A grey, dead world of no feeling.  All the better to Great Reset you with. All part of the plan.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Carbonized gray is dark gray and metallic, stone is light gray and non metallic, and iconic silver is, well, silver.

Anything real wood? Painted gray. Artificial wood? "Distressed" (gray). Brick? Painted gray. Disgusting. How about the automotive market? https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/attachments/lead-foot-2021-f150-lariat-sport-b-jpg.2486/ https://tractionlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2019-Toyota-RAV4-Limited-Review-1.jpg Here are the "color" options for the 2022 F-150: Black Carbonized GRAY Iconic Silver (GRAY) Stone GRAY Oxford White Velocity Blue Race Red Rapid Red Space White (has a hint of GRAY) Antimatter Blue (looks like black unless in bright direct light) Guard (a greenish GRAY color) 11 "color" options, and only three of them are actually distinguishable as a colors you can't see in a B&W movie. In recent years, less than 20% of vehicles sold in the US are an actual color. This might be the worst color trend ever. Yes, I'm well aware that harvest gold and avocado green happened. I wasn't alive when those were trendy, but plenty of that stuff was still around being laughed at and being replaced as I was growing up. But you know what? At least it was fun. There's nothing fun about seeing entire neighborhoods that look like they sourced all their home and auto paint from a damn naval yard. Not only is it not fun, but it doesn't look good by any of the relevant adjectives. Beautiful? Pretty? Aesthetically pleasing? Hard no. Don't fool yourselves. This gray crap is, at best, inoffensive. It's a "safe" choice, and nothing more. Some sunny day (assuming civilization doesn't collapse), people are going to start throwing away and painting over all the gray shit with something else, ANYTHING else, and it's going to be great. Carbonized gray is dark gray and metallic, stone is light gray and non metallic, and iconic silver is, well, silver. It's all gray. Different hues and flakes, but gray nonetheless. The distinctions are near meaningless. |

The architecture of Communist countries is mostly gray, with lots of concrete and security checkpoints.
The only bright colors allowed are cultish personality posters of Dear Leader/Creator of All Happiness and various jingoistic Party slogans featuring determined workers and peasants destroying capitalism for the millionth time. I’ll take rich colors every time over slovenly North Korean dullness. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like that roof. I'd totally do that in my subdivision if I could get away with it. Bet it sounds nice in the rain.  Thanks. It's actually quieter than I'd expected/hoped. We developed one issue, where snow was pulling the gutters loose. The sun doesn't hit this corner, so snow sits there for a while and then slides down as a mass. We had snow guards put in the area, and the gutters rehung, and it's been fine ever since.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Real wood is too expensive to use for anything anymore. That's why they paint the MDF cabinets. As for the exterior, I like it, especially the bricks. Gives it a look like a stone cottage or something. The real problem with modern homes are the neighbors close enough to stick a fishing pole out your window and poke their house with it. I'd rather live in a 1600sq foot house on 10 acres than a 3000sq foot house on 0.3 acres. Exact opposite in my experience. Building my new house, the option for painted cabinets was more expensive than maple or other woods with whatever stain color they offered. I chose wood and stain cause if i decide i don't like it i can always paint later. Same with staircase, wood and stain, cheaper than painted lol. Baffled me and realized how builders are taking advantage of the painted cabinets look by charging more for less. |

My first ever high school vehicle was a 74 datsun pickup in grey primer, I fixed it up and painted it a dark grey.
My Mother loved the 70's green and gold everything and the kitchen carpet was orange. "that's right our 70's house had carpet in the kitchen and bathroom" So yeah grey is fine with me. |

The outside is a bit hardcore of a grey, yes. And mostly the interior too. Gives me dark vibes. That's definitely a bandwagon trend grey that will go out of style. Too dark.
Reminds me of how depressing Vancouver was. Grey on grey on grey. I still like a lighter grey. That will go on my walls...with white cabinets. |
