Color represents emotions, form represents reason. Since emotions is a big part of human nature, the loss of color means the western society has been sliding into a depression, and the west is depressed because it's falling under the influence of the origin of this colorless stereometric brutalism.

I get this feeling when I visit certain places with beton brute architecture, and I always wonder what kind of suffering did the architect go through to design something like that?
