Me: dang, look at that one
My mom: woah that’s yellow
Me: it looks like SpongeBob
My mom: it looks like yellow bubble gum
Me: you mean “Juicy Fruit”?
My mom: yeah, I wonder if his handle is Juicy?
Me: *chokes on my sprite*

Color has been disappearing from the world.
A new research group used machine learning to track color changes in common materials and items, below is their findings for all color changes over time, they used 7000+ items from the 1800s to now to determine color changes in the most common items.
Below are the colors of cars by year, notice how the majority of cars are grey, white, or black compared to twenty years ago.
These aren't data points, but they are comparisons between the 'modern' homes of the 70s and 80s compared to the modern homes of today.
Carpets have equally had the same treatment of grey added to them! The most common color of carpet is now grey or beige.
Even locations that used to scream with color for decades have now modernized to becoming boring minimalist (and I love minimalism) personality-less locations.
The world is becoming colorless, why?

ST. LOUIS — The Teamsters Union made an abrupt announcement Monday morning: It had received notice that the Nashville, Tennessee-based trucking giant Yellow Corp. was closing operations and planned to file for bankruptcy.
The expected closure leaves tens of thousands of jobs in the balance, and the impact on already delicate supply chains won’t be known for weeks to come. At the company’s sprawling truck yard in the Kosciusko neighborhood of St. Louis on Monday, signs were posted noting that “all company operations have ceased” as of Sunday. Trailers were positioned to block the entrances to the yard.
“Today’s news is unfortunate but not surprising,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement. “Yellow has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government. This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry.”
