I’ve been there multiple times and can confirm. Among the younger population it’s like 90% black and white clothing. That number goes down as you look at older groups. However, almost all of the cars are also black or white.
I stuck out like a sore thumb wearing pink, orange, green, etc. Last time I went, I was in Seoul for a whole week. I saw one young person wearing pink, and maybe 10 young people wearing colorful outfits.

On the other side of the coin, you have to really go out of your way to find colors of certain things that aren’t navy, grey, black, or white in Japan. I wear polos to work and I haven’t seen one outside those colors in at least a few years now. Part of the problem is the fact that I need to shop in the fat dude section (which was true even before I was a fat dude because normal shirts here aren’t designed for broad shoulders), but even in the rest of the store the color selections aren’t great. I also live in the ass end of nowhere, so I’m sure there’d be more selection in like tokyo.
