So you think the reason the Soviet union was less colourful was because there wasn't ads?

You realize that advertising isn't what created coloured paints or what allows us to plant flowers right?

I think it can have been a contributory but not a determinative factor. Mainly, I was just relaying an interesting observation, about the impact of advertising on public spaces, that I hadn't heard elsewhere, or previously, which prompted me to think that eradicating advertising probably isn't an optimum solution.
