I don’t know that answer and looking to the SMEs (subject matter experts) to answer the question. I think we are overly indulged with regards to options. Does anything operate better if it’s a specific color?

If I understand you correctly, I think you're saying that fewer options would be cheaper to manufacture and prices would be lower. I think that's true. 10 factories producing 10 basic, necessary items over and over can do this more efficiently than 1000 factories producing 10,000 items, 9,990 of them unnecessary. I also think that a huge number of the excess products end up in the landfill.
