Every aspect of life is being stripped of color.

Many have noticed this trend — but why exactly is it happening?

Something deeper is going on… (thread) 🧵 https://t.co/CFSKmgWgqO

Fewer opportunities and greater inequality.

i think the monopolization of various sectors leads to this in some aspect in addition to convenience

uniformity, stability, predictability - core values to a large machine that can't afford pops of differentiation

I think Linear is a good example. Let’s say you want to differentiate with your own product.

Linear owns what JIRA doesn’t. Adding color would mean subselecting and not competing. So best try to compete on the merits than on the brand/appeal.

Duolingo actually runs counter to this. But no one competes with them!
