十人十色

Meaning
人の考えや好みは人それぞれ違う
Explanation
「十人十色」 means that ways of thinking and preferences differ from person to person, just as if there are ten people there are ten kinds of likes and ideas. It is the opposite of c2's "when they gather, opinions agree"; it is a word that expresses each person's differences.
Original Japanese explanation

「十人十色」は、人が十人いれば好みや考えも十通りあるように、人によって考え方や好みはそれぞれ違うという意味です。c2 の「集まれば意見が一致する」とは反対で、人それぞれの違いを表す言葉です。
