I am wondering about people who complain that diablo 3 is cheery and that the previous ones were dark and grim. Did we play the same game? If anything Diablo 3 looks darker and grimmer than diablo 2 with its ridiculous crayon like colors

I don't agree that Diablo 2 had/has crayon like colors, mostly because i'm currently playing it and haven't seen anything of the like. Alas, Diablo II has a very similar color palette to the original Diablo, but with a larger focus on contrast and luminosity, which is more proeminent in Act II and Act IV, because of the particularities of those same acts (Because a dark and grimmy desert wouldn't really make any sense, nor an entire lava filled room). 

I also don't agree nor did I ever agree with the swarm of complains about the art style of Diablo III. I always thought they were uncalled for, mostly because the art seemed to fit the few locations shown.
