"The colors are too dull or depressing"

Is there an existing Audience Reaction or YMMV for this?

A work is criticized for its choice of colors being too "dull", "depressing", or unsaturated. For example:

Fans do not like that a work (or a sequel) uses the Real Is Brown trope.
The work originally has a vibrant color palette for the first half, but then the second half uses unsaturated colors which fans don't like.
Some fans like the work for having a general unsaturated color palette, but others don't, hence YMMV.

No. The Real Is Brown page used to be a lot more complain-y, but it's been rewritten to be more neutral.

The work originally has a vibrant color palette for the first half, but then the second half uses unsaturated colors which fans don't like.

Fans disliking the second half of the game (for any reason) can be Disappointing Last Level.
