Many people still think that our ancestors really didn't give any meaning to color, and that everything was grey and dull.


Which is incorrect: https://edition.cnn.com/style/article/g ... index.html



When I was young, I used to imagine more recent history (first half of 20th century) in black and white only. Because, in my mind there was an obstacle created by old videos, which were always in black and white. It was only much later in life when I started to imagine the past in full color.

That was the same with me, as well. I thought that "the olden times" were all in browns and sepia-tones and all boring and drab.
