how come all sanitary ware went white? .....


Like cars, white became fashionable.


white became fashionable because it was the only colour that they didn't
charge extra for


I thought it was because white went with everything simialar in kitchens
and virtually colours went well with white for accessorties like shower curtains etc...


so when it because fashionable they thought "we've got a good reason to
charge extra for it"

now some other colour is free


my bathroom was bits were all yellow.


I do so hate the idea of paying for a different colour. It can't really
cost any extra at the factory, can it?


I think it can suppy and demand being the simplest, in the past such colours as black and purple were difficult to make and didn't last very long.
