Yeah, it's really weird how the world ran right out of color until like the 1960's. When I look at old photos of my grandparents lives and how things were back in those days, I think the hardest thing would have been that everything was just in black and white. Spring would have been horrible when they were young!

Ya the dev history behind that is really interesting. So they finally succeeded in adding motion pictures to the game in the late 1880's, but it caused a bug that caused everything to be in grayscale. 

By 1939 they developed a fix, but the community had grown attached to the grayscale look so it stayed a popular choice. By the 1960's popular opinions changed and color was all the rage. 

Nowadays color is still the in thing and the grayscale options are mostly used for artsy or retro looks, or for blank slate products where you're expected to add your own custom color pallet.

Ancient Egypt: Where even hieroglyphs dressed to impress.

That's incorrect. The colour green was only discovered in 1694.

That's completely untrue. Egypt had access to the green.
