At the checkout counter in my favourite store, I realize that every single item I’ve selected is in some shade of black, white, or grey. As she scans the items, the sales girl casually asks me whether the clothes are for “some sort of uniform”. They are not — apparently, I just have a subconscious aversion to colour.
In the next store, I purposefully choose only the most colourful items and end up purchasing a top in a rich shade of purple.
