Our Blank, Blankety-blank Grey Period

 Our Blank, Blankety Blank Grey Period 

Yikes!  Here comes Arial, impersonal, vapid, straight-up-&-down-Arial. 

Quick! Get a serif font going!  How about Georgia for comfort?  Your eyes want—no, need— a font that allows, even encodes a bit of human style.

Yes, font matters.  We grandparents love looking back at our childhood 

books with their primary colors and fancy fonts-- user friendly letters—

what a bad mistake it was to banish familiarity!   The Noxious-Grey Stylists have held sway for two decades and more now, allowing only grey walls, 

grey floors, grey upholstery, & computers, conceding only an occasional teal or magenta accent pillow, breathlessly announcing a new trim choice:  

Treat Yourself to a Touch of RASPBERRY!    

[Such daring! However do they contain themselves?]

Maybe the market crash that has led to this recession will require 

a campaign of riotous color to pull us out of this Relentless Grey Period?
