Default bike shedding most boring trend

Here Is the BMC Teammachine SLR01 Disc [1]
which is an example of what I have seen many
times now in the "cycling press", and that is
to have the frame in one (and only one) bright
color, and then everything else in gray or most
often black!

Very ugly IMO. Black is the most boring and
depressing color which is why kids are afraid
of the dark and people wear black at funerals.

Gray can be a cool color but only in
combination with other colors.

And why the entire frame in one color? It looks
much better to have different parts in
different colors, or even several colors
intermingling and blending on each part (but
not too much). Also, one can mix shiny colors
with dull colors, like the down tube dull and
the rest satin, or so.

Why do people like it like that??
