I don’t understand how sorting just by color alone would look nicer than putting the books in order where the size of the books, color coordination and things like color of the title font are considered as well

My ex-partner had her bookshelf sorted with “perfect disorder”. No two tall books touching, no two red books touching. As chaotic as a bookshelf could possibly be, with a pointed disregard for series or even genres. 100% vibes Based disorganization.
I hated that fucking shelf. I swear it nearly gave me an aneurism trying to find anything on it.

I swear that’s a hard math tesselation problem
I’d guess, it’s a variation of this problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem
At least it had

It’s extraordinarily un-OCD. I think that’s the point here. People seem to have forgotten what the D stands for in OCD.
Not being a total slob doesn’t mean you have a disorder.
