I certainly did not have the 100,000+ bricks I do today but I certainly had
enough of an idea to make my creations color coordinated as a kid (as did many
of my friends and cousins who played with LEGO too) and got more satisfaction of
what I built by doing so.  Ok, so I wasn't able to build huge MOCs back then but
could certainly build small and medium sized (less than 2 ft.) ones and make
them color coordinated.

Also, kids look at the sets and see that they are built color coordinated and
want to do the same with their creations.  I can't say that's the rule but have
enough experience to say I've seen it very often.

Adr.
