Is the crowd upset because Clan Vegeta's more used to strong rulers and that's affecting the whole of Saiyan society?
What's all this about "colourless" people? Does that refer to the lack of blue hair or are you saying the entire planet is white people?
They are generally upset at the situation in general -- although naturally the Vegetans are more so because they're getting hit on the religious and secular fronts -- and are aiming it at a few individuals in particular.
"Colorless" isn't literal. But these are people with no understanding of ki, who were medieval peasants before the saiyans showed up, who don't have a damn Guardian, who don't have animal people, who don't have any of the Weird that nearly infested Earth, who don't know magic, who don't even know that they aren't on their race's home world right now and couldn't care less about finding out, who don't know or care that there's anything out in space, who don't even have the grace and decency to have spiky hair like some humans do...they come in all skin tones and hair colors, but to the eyes of a saiyan who never interacts with them unless they have to and was raised with stories of an Earth covered in strange and mystical creatures, the humans of Garenhuld are just lifeless. Barren. Divorced of the mystical hyper-reality that the average saiyan's life is, in comparison to a Garenhulder's. Imagine you're a typical saiyan of exactly 1.5 million power units. You move with the long practice driven into every saiyan that by moving too fast, you could break the planet. Your ears pick up noises kilometers away without thinking about it. Your eyes see with a crisp detail that professional cinematographers would weep to possess. You can track a bug as it flies around you by the shifting of the air molecules around you.
And then your Lord stuffs you into a Masque and tells you you'll get in trouble if your power level goes above five. You go from a glorious, nearly god-like hyper-reality to utter mundanity with nothing to recommend it. Colorless. After all, what is simple red compared to the glorious shades that appear to somebody of your full strength?
Marry in the human parent (obviously, they take the saiyan's Clan name, and get no choice in the matter, although it's usually presented more appealingly than that) and handle child-rearing as is typical for a Garenhuld saiyan marriage. And make sure that the saiyan parent treads lightly around their Lord for the rest of their life for fear of the chewing-out they got, and that everybody knows they're an impulsive idiot who shouldn't be trusted to handle things themself.
