IMO, the grey/blu-ish colour (consciously chosen by the director) was perfect for the movie. After all it was primarily a thriller cum action flick. Infact I am bored of seeing all bright, goody-goody movies.
The music of the film, be it khaike or yeh mera dil is not great either. Yeah, the end strikes you. But Don is not a film that can be watched over and over like other films of SRK like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.
Music is very good IMO, suits to the movie. "Main Hoon Don"/"Aaj Ki Raat"/"Moreyaa" were extremely good and not to mention BG music simply rocked. Regarding your other point, there are many who would prefer to watch DON over K3G/KHNH/KANK, it is all about having different tastes.π
One advice to Shah Rukh Khan, please please please please please please please please please please please stick doing roles in which you are the best ie :romantic, comic and dramatic.
That does not mean he shouldn't try other genres and then critics say he doesn't do different movies. People still remember his Baazigar/Darr/Anjaam.
