It's interesting to compare and contrast the architecture of various cultures or regions. In Scandanavia a lot houses were red, some yellow, or natural logs, but mostly red with white trim. Today they get painted white, black, or grays, but anything on acreage built last century that hasn't been updated is red, or maybe yellow. In parts of Greece everything is white stone, maybe off-white stone, sometimes contrasted with the blue of their flag. Portugese, Spanish cities have distinct color palettes, patterned tiles, natural woods. Limestone is prevalant in mas and vignobles in Provence, France. In S. and C. America you see vibrant colors, mahogonys etc. Cuba is crazy with its faded pastels. I used to play that Geoguessr game when it was free and without moving around, in the asbsence of nature, be able to pick the country by the architectural styles, colors, etc. But of all the new "updated styles" sweeping the globe, this monochrome is insidiously ubiquitous.

Cuba has got it :).
As for the menacingly ubiquitous colournessness, it has made itself, or they have made it, most widespread in the automotive world as well.
