This kind of reads like “people in the past lived covered in mud and without color,” which is very far from the truth. There is plenty to be said about misleading advertisements and advertisement saturation into our daily lives, but the bad thing about that isn’t seeing bright colors.
“people in the past lived covered in mud and without color,”
Never have colours been spiked like this in human history. People did not necessarily live colourless lives (even though video media was colourless), however people surely did not see colour spiked ads the moment they got out of the house, on flashy 200" screens, on their phones and so on.
I live in LA and I don’t see 200" screens unless I go downtown. I can’t think of anywhere people step outside their homes and see that, unless they live in Times Square.
People have always made bright colors, both for art and for their clothing and homes. If anything our cities are dull compared to garish taste of the Romans, who slapped color on absolutely everything they could.
They are thousands of years old and have faded; look at recreations and tell me you’ve been to any neighborhood with half as much color. My neighborhood (all beiges and whites), most urban neighborhoods, and virtually all suburban neighborhoods are significantly desaturated and colorless compared to ancient Rome.
According to modern sensibilities of taste in some countries. That hasn’t always been the case. Would you call a torii dull? Was the stained glass in medieval churches less colorful than today? Have you seen how vibrant basically all of nature is? You’re conflating everything bad about advertisements with color itself.
The fun part is how you are the one defending human psychology abuse by West, most likely because I pointed out USA here, and because you live in a Western country. The more interesting part is how you are purposely steering away from the point, by claiming it is about colours, even though the context is completely different. It becomes even more insane when you actually conflate the colours in nature to the colours on billboards and electronic screens.
“Colors become bad when they’re displayed on a screen” is some conspiracy shit, not sorry. The only known effect screens and colors have on health is when blue light is disrupting your circadian rhythm. You have failed to provide any evidence of the harm of bright colors coming from a screen on people’s psychological state beyond “trust me bro it just makes sense.”

Those look like very light colours compared to what we see today. It does not prove your point.

…because physical paint colours on houses are generally chosen to not be as poppy as the ones on screens and billboards.
