The food court carpet went from orange to gray in just 5 years at my local mall

I went back to the old Riverview Mall last weekend for the first time since high school. The food court used to have this bright orange and yellow carpet that looked like a 90s birthday party. Now it's just this sad flat gray color from years of people walking through with greasy food. I swear you can still see the outline of where the Orange Julius kiosk used to sit near the east wall. The weirdest part is they didn't even replace the carpet they just let it get so dirty that the pattern disappeared. Time and a million dropped fries really did a number on that floor. Has anyone else noticed how fast those old mall carpets go from funky to just totally gross?

Wow... everything just kinda fades to gray eventually, doesn't it.
