Upon much consideration on what the aesthetics of the future are, a thought:
Perhaps the aesthetic of the future is white and black.
For example, when you think SpaceX and space ships … what aesthetic are they? Mostly white with black accents. Same goes with the new SpaceX astronaut outfit.
Why white? It seems to be the most efficient color in terms of dissipating heat. Also, when looking at the new Tesla cars, it seems the most eye-catching contrast is a white/black Tesla, with a white/black interior. It feels uber-clean, and uber-modern.
Black on black cars is a mostly boring aesthetic. Even with our iPhone’s… perhaps getting a white phone feels cleaner, more modern and efficient than a (boring) black space grey one. Remember with the original iPhone 3G/iPhone 4 … when the white one came out… how crazy everyone went over it? Also a reason why the iPhone and MacBook chargers are all-white, and AirPods are all-white.
