I just looked over the first few pages of the most popular photos on
500px.com:

Almost all of them (if not all) have saturated colors (or high-contrast
B&W)
that's a good observation
I am sure psychologists wrote papers and books on this topic, I didn't
even try to google it, but I suspect the reason is simple: bright colors
are easier for "consumption", the same way as sweet foods/drinks
attract attention of adults and especially kids. In a similar way,
many people start drinking wines by liking the sweet ones.
one explanation is we are so overstimulated that everything competes for our
attention
* in beer, over-hopped "imperial IPA" with 9-10% alcohol is the current rage
* on TV, "reality" shows are packed with outrageous behavior, humiliation and
extreme emotional states
* porn sets the sexual standard for today's youth
* giant lips, breasts, and even buttocks are sought after
* Facebook drives the words "friend" and "like" into increasing meaninglessness
