I've always wondered why they walked around so hurriedly.

“How come everybody wore gray back then?”

If it was anything like IBM dress code back then, you wore that color w/pinstripes so the customer would listen to your sales pitch, rather than be distracted by what you were wearing. Neutral color required!
