This was not the decision of one person, but a team of global experts giving their views, spending money on research, product development and marketing and they have come up with an unoriginal colour that sparks zero emotion. It's So Disappointing. I am by no means suggesting they should have opted for a technicolour neon to 'brighten things up.' As a Colour Expert I appreciat
