From Neon to Neutral: The Fading Palette of Our Cities Once upon a time, cities screamed in color. From McDonald’s golden arches to Kodak yellows, Pepsi blues, and bright civic signage — color wasn’t decoration, it was identity.

Today, the urban palette has gone grayscale — glass, concrete, muted pastels, beige branding, minimalist interiors. Our spaces look polished, but strangely quiet. Somewhere between c
