I used to love grey. And then sometime in the mid-2000's, automakers decided that they loved it too. And every damn vehicle on the road was grey.

Then, we got a new CEO at work. And he thought our facilities needed a refresh, but shouldn't look "institutional".

So every damn surface was painted grey with a darker shade of grey for the trim. It felt like I was working on a WW2 battleship. In black and white.

Now I can't fucking stand it.

Shouldn't look too institutional so he went with grey? I associate grey with institutions so heavily. It's cubicle color.

That said, I'm a huge fan of the old great society era government building style
