I don't want to live in a bland environment hoping some random colorful person will walk in to accent it, though.

Sure, but my original comment was:
> Modern taste is more about more neutral-colored foundations with color accents.
Yes, there's no such thing as "objectively correct" when it comes to design. But it's where Western society currently is in terms of the design of public spaces including offices, how your realtor will advise you to redecorate when putting your home for sale, etc. And there are principles of modern design that, while not judgeable as correct/incorrect, are widely accepted as established.
So that's great you like to be bombarded with color, but I'm talking about an explanation for where society has been and how it's evolved with regard to color.
Obviously it depends.
A room always full of people might not need much decoration.
In a private office, you might want to hang a colorful painting and have some colorful knick-knacks, or a colorful sofa.
You figure out the right amount of color accents for you. But without overwhelming the senses by painting the whole room bright orange, you know?
