As I look around the living room and kitchen of my apartment, I can't help but wonder about why manufacturers choose the colors they do for their products.
We have two Lazy Boy armchairs; both are of different fabrics but both are a sort of disgusting shade of something unrecognizable. They are neither a neutral, nor a brown, nor a gray, nor a green. They must be the very color (and I'm generous in using that word)of some kind of sludge one might have found underneath a prehistoric rock. I'm no home decorator, but I can't imagine a place where such drab monsters would ever fit.
The couch too has this problem. It's certainly by a different manufacturer, but it is equally sickly-looking. A pale jaundice-yellow overlaid with almost neutral blue, the bastard child of brown and "maroon," and a khaki green-gray that even the army would refuse.
Who designs this stuff?
