No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The pressure for cars and houses to have neutral colors is because it makes it easier to sell and resell. People tend to have far more resistance to paying for something with bold colors they don't want than neutral tones like grey/white/beige.
Anyone will buy a neutral color. Not everyone wants a bright blue or yellow or red car, and if you make everything neutral then color won't turn anyone away. This also applies to used cars.
For houses it is like a blank canvas for the next owner. It is easy to paint over for those that want color, but those that don't will just keep it so their things can stand out.
I can’t imagine buying something with the mindset wrapped around what someone else in the future might think it’s worth. If I’m buying it, I might as well like it. This is such a sad way to view the world.
The mindset is that the person will like it well enough, maybe not as much as their first choice, but they will still like it. Making the decision entirely on resale over personal choice is pretty sad.
Like if someone plans on being in a house for only 2 or 3 years then it might not be worth finding a house with preferred colors or repainting and being able to sell it quickly when moving means they will probably want to keep it neutral.
I would prefer a colorful truck, but they didn't sell the one I bought in bright colors so I got a grey and it still looks pretty good. I plan on keeping it indefinitely and when I have money to burn or the paint wears and needs redone I will go with a color I want because I don't have any plans to sell it.
There are other things like light neutral colors for rooms makes them feel bigger or how light color paints on cars show less dirt, but treating high price items as commodities you will sell in the not distant future is what leads to salespeople promoting the mindset.
