Why is Communism so depressing and grey?

Peace, Land and Bread. This was the famous slogan promoted by Vladimir Lenin in the wake of the October revolution of 1917 in Russia - the Soviet world summed up in three words. Now contrast this with the slogan of the French bourgeois revolution of 1789 that proudly proclaimed Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite.
Notice any difference? If you ask me, it’s as if you’re looking at two different worlds, as if you can feel the different atmospheres of the two movements perfectly contrasting each other. The former embodies a seemingly cold, grey, boring and depressing world and the latter a vibrant world of hope, romance, prosperity and luxury. At least, that’s how it looks on the surface.
