MODERATORS
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.
"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."
