This thread is about the non-essential qualities that you prefer, or don't prefer, in your chattels (or for that matter, your stationary stuff). As an example, I've started buying pocket knives with dark green or olive drab handles, and I'll even pay a little extra for my IWB kydex holster to be some flavor of brown, tan, coyote, FDE, or similar.
I'd guess most of you will say you don't care. As long as it works, you don't much care what it looks like, and why do you care about the color of your concealed, IWB holster, fistful? Point taken, but some of us care, for whatever reason.
Currently shopping for a daypack type backpack. Practical stuff seems to veer towards the faux tactical look, which I kind of want to avoid. Grey man thing, you know. <scowl>. (I'm also picky are regards to features.)
The other ways appearance seems to go is 1)childish, or 2) "metro effete". <scowl>
I'm coming to hate shopping online blindly, having to slog through feature lists and specs and reviews that are probably ignorant, bought and paid for, or lies. Welcome to the Internet.
