Sad beige moms are erasing the color from their kids' lives one can of spray paint at a time, and the internet is not happy about it.

Is this obsessive need for neutrals a threat to their children's development, or just another harmless trend?

Let's talk about it, but first...

There we go.

Multiple TikToks have gone viral over the past few months of color sensitive mothers spray painting their children's toys to better match their boring, sorry, I mean beige aesthetic.

These posts typically receive quite a lot of criticism and the most recent video to invoke the ire of the internet was this woman who decided that her toddler's toy Christmas tree was a little too festive.

Go ahead and call me crazy or a sad beige mom for what I'm about to do.

Today I'm giving the step to my first Christmas tree a total makeover.

I'm leaning into my inner Pinterest mom with the vision to neutralize the tree.

Neutralize the tree.

It's a toy, not a bomb threat.

Why does it need to be neutralized?

You can see how this mom is already on the defensive.

She knows the keyboard warriors are going to man their battle stations the moment they see this, but

She posted it anyways.

I can already hear you thinking that I'm going to ruin my toddler's Christmas by painting over these colors.

Let's be real, my toddler's favorite toys are brown cardboard boxes and clear plastic water bottles.

So I really think that she's a neutral girly at heart.

Your toddler isn't a neutral girly.

Kids are just little goblins who like to play with trash.

I originally wanted to paint the body of the tree a brown, but then I realized, you know what?

I want my tree to look a little bit alive.

So here I am painting an already green tree another shade of green.

You're telling me that we narrowly missed a far worse timeline where this woman painted her kid's Christmas tree brown.

Here's how the DIY ornaments turned out, guys.

Honestly, I love them.

They are definitely giving organic modern vibe.

I know I'd be feeling the Christmas spirit if I saw that in the living room.

Organic modern vibe?

More like organic matter vibe.

Am I right?

Look, if you can't handle me at my lazy poop joke I wrote in three and a half seconds, then you don't deserve me at my other equally mediocre material.

I do need you guys' help.

Should I paint the train or leave it as is?

To quote the Beatles, um, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Here's how the train turned out and what it looks like in our space.

I absolutely

I love it, but let me know what you think.

Oh yeah, people let her know exactly what they thought, quite enthusiastically.

I have a few thoughts of my own about this.

First off, yes, it is incredibly ugly.

It makes Charlie Brown's Christmas tree look garishly extravagant, but I'm more worried about how safe it is.

Just because Krylon spray paint is supposed to be non toxic doesn't mean that it's edible, and if any of that paint chips off, a toddler is going to devour it like it was plated at a restaurant with three Michelin stars.

When people pointed this out, Natalie posted this DIY showing everyone how to make these little emergency room visits waiting to happen instead.

Oh, you didn't like the hazardous dung balls?

Well, how about these super fragile ornaments that will shatter into a thousand razor sharp pieces of plastic under the slightest bit of pressure?

I appreciate that she tried to accept feedback, but I think it's safe to say that DIYing your kid's toys below a certain age is not really worth the risk.

But before we continue, I'd like to take a second to talk about today's sponsor, Aerup.

Using the flavor pods attached to the lid, Aerup bottles deliver scented air to your mouth as you drink, meaning that even though you're just drinking water, you get to enjoy a variety of different flavors through the power of scent based taste, making hydration way more interesting.

I've been using Arup pretty much every single day over the past few months.

I've been trying different flavors, and I think that Cherry has officially replaced Tangerine as my favorite.

Arup guarantees that three flavor pods should last at least ten days, but in my experience, they last way longer.

I was using the same one for multiple weeks, and I could still taste hints of Cherry.

The bottles also come in so many different colors, but for me, green was an obvious choice.

I love that this colorful bottle is super easy to disassemble for cleaning and that I can swap out flavors whenever I want to try something new.

Using Aerup is a great way to make drinking water more fun so you can stay healthy and hydrated.

Stop choosing between health and flavor and choose both by clicking the link in the description to try Aerup today.

Now, during this video, I'm going to be using the term beige mom, but to be clear, there are multiple species of the miserably minimalist millennial parent.

There's sad beige mom, sad gray mom, and sad white mom, not to be confused with sad Caucasian mom, aka my mom after finding out that I quit my job to become a YouTuber.

You'll also probably notice that women are gonna be featured pretty much exclusively in this video, and that's just because they're the ones posting the content.

Both parents have a degree of responsibility for cultivating a colorless environment in their home.

At this point, I do need to admit my bias, not the K pop kind, because I am a maximalist to my core.

I am never happier than when I am surrounded by a colorful trove of knickknacks

antiques, and well over twenty thingamabobs, so I find this trend of minimalism to be absolutely hideous, but I'm going to try really hard to keep an open mind for the rest of this video.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

You know what?

No.

My mind is closed now.

I'm closing my mind.

The kids can't even have color on their birthday?

Who is this party for?

The inmates of Arkham Asylum?

At least it'll be easy to see if little Timmy decides to let a chocolate surprise slip out of his pampers in the ball pit, you know what?

My bad.

That's the last poop joke.

I'm cutting myself off.

But don't worry, this company also does safari themed parties.

Oh, yeah, that sure is one wild safari.

Mom must have been feeling a little crazy last night when she ordered those four by four brown animal stickers to slap on the bouncy castle.

She must have been having a little safari of her own with the box wine in the pantry to greenlight, sorry, sage light that obnoxious display.

Look at this.

Oh!

Holy, I thought I went colorblind for a second.

It's like the first thirty minutes of the Wizard of Oz.

The old one with the asbestos snow, to be clear.

There's no place like home.

Wrong.

Thousands of middle aged women decorate their house like this now.

Happy medium between sad beige mom and not sad beige mom.

And I'm just going to show you why.

So let's go.

OK, first up, there's this and then there's this.

It is beautiful.

Now, what in the hell is that?

A Vulcan's first abacus?

Children from the Victorian era would be like, that looks depressing!

I don't want to play with it!

And then go back to licking the lead paint off their toys.

Then there's this.

We all have a good ball pit.

And then there's this.

Yeah, no, the light blue toy covered with the happy smiling faces of animal friends is so ugly.

Bring in the cylinder!

You've heard of ball pits, now get ready for the pit of despair!

Let's just jumpstart them right into the depressing realities of adulthood, shall we?

There's this, and then there's this.

Like, you guys, you can't blame us.

Okay, that's just homophobic.

You replaced the adorable rainbow toy with what looks like a disassembled dentist chair?

How's your kid gonna learn their colors with THE ARCHES OF SADNESS?

Hi Katie, are you ready for your first day of pre K?

Yes, she's already learning her colors.

Wow, that's so good.

Hey, hey Katie, can you tell me what color Elmo is?

Oh, we don't waste her time with the primary colors, but she can tell the difference between raw umber and walnut brown.

Even I can't do that.

Like it is sad, I admit, but I love it.

It is not an eyesore in our house.

You gotta understand like why we are at least partial sad beige as moms.

You have a certain style that you like and that's fine.

Having bad taste doesn't necessarily qualify as child abuse, but your house can't be a Pinterest board and still be a home.

Your kids aren't renting their rooms.

It's their house too.

And they shouldn't be made to feel like their colorful toys are a hideous invasion of the space.

Now, obviously there's a scale to this.

Not all beige moms are created equal.

This is a pretty sad brown playroom, but you can see the spots of color poking out here and there.

And then there's people like this who literally throw away all their kids' toys

and force them to cosplay as pilgrims for the internet.

Somebody get this poor child a Skittle.

She has years of Red Forty to catch up on.

Sad Beige Mom posts inspire other Sad Beige Moms.

Companies have noticed the increased demand for Pinterest perfect toys and they are happy to supply.

Prudence.

Chastity.

You may select one wicca implement, but no more than that lest the devil overshadow your heart with a sin of covetousness.

Yes, Papa.

They are colorless, lest you forget how colorless the world be without the grace of our Lord, Father God.

Amen.

There is an entire beige economy with endless amounts of retailers offering desaturated toys at discounted prices.

Whoa.

Okay, nevermind.

A creator that goes by ThatSadBeigeLady on TikTok has a popular series where she goes to these sad beige websites and shows the incredibly depressing clothes and toys they sell, often at outrageously high prices.

I am fascinated by the concept of this new trend of minimalism being an attempt by the middle class to gain proximity to wealth without actually making more money.

I know, where is this video going?

Let me rant for a second.

You can see extreme forms of colorless minimalism in the houses of many celebrities, for example, Kim Kardashian.

And I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these sad beige moms were influenced by these heavily doctored glimpses into the unobtainable, aesthetically pleasing life of the super rich.

A sort of pay more for less so you can feel like you have more kind of thing.

A lot of sad beige moms seem to have this weird us versus the world martyr mentality and can be very hostile towards anyone who tries to give suggestions.

The two main arguments they tend to fall back on whenever they're called out is one, that the kids don't care, and two, that bright colors are actually harmfully overstimulating.

But what do the experts say?

I was able to find a really great article written by Nahul Agarwal that summarized the findings of pediatricians and psychologists on this issue.

The article states that colors are very important for early cognitive and visual development.

Having a lot of colors in an environment for babies to learn and recognize is also really good for language and emotional development.

The article did actually address concerns about overstimulation, citing a study from of a play area could be disruptive, but it still makes it very clear that having primary colored toys is important for visual stimulation.

The article also cites Dr. Jodi Levos as saying that while beige colored toys aren't necessarily harmful, babies crave high contrast, something that is missing from the sad beige aesthetic.

Look, I'm not gonna pretend that I'm any kind of expert on this issue, but I think these findings are substantial enough to put the spray paint away.

I don't think that sad beige moms are the evil parents that the internet has made them out to be.

It makes perfect sense to me that these women who are expected to give up their lives for their children, to have their identities erased and replaced with motherhood, feel trapped and depressed as they watch the living space they spend so much time in become overrun with bright colors and constant noise.

but there needs to be a balance.

I think the best compromise for sad beige moms is this, decorate your house as boring and colorless as you want, just leave the toys alone.

Or you can just make a color exposure therapy room for your kids, like the parents of the viral TikTok goth baby.

It is messed up that people are expected to stop being themselves just because they're parents,

but I think there are ways of holding on to your identity without depriving your child of color.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think after making this video, I'm gonna need a little color exposure therapy of my own.
