Is it Torontonians or developers that want everything grey?
I would say developers because I don't think grey is anybody's favourite colour. It's the kind of colour that few love but also that few hate. It's the new beige. (bland as hell and way over used) I only started to hate it when it became ubiquitous in Toronto. Developers are such followers and lack any backbone at all. Once one jumped on the grey spandrel bandwagon, they all seemed to follow like lemmings. It's just unfortunate that Toronto's mass development seemed to happen at the worst time. I guess it could be worse, we could have no development at all.
