Well, costumes nowadays are definitely black and white. And since the 19th century isn't it a bit less colorful overall?

Older than that and I 100% agree, especially when colors would show how wealthy you are.

    Once again our perception of the 19th and 20th century are altered by the mediums which we experience them. Early photography, black and white movies of smoggy industrial districts. However if you witnessed a parade or a any other part of town it would be quite colorful.
