In a cold subdued melancholy world

like--it works OK--but

in a melancholy world, cold
subdued

is my take
 
anything that turns language around--makes a reader have a fresh perspective--is a good thing in my book. What you're talking about--strings of adjectives preceding the noun--can be, to my thnking, just another level of cliche.

It's also an argument for editing one's writing. I might not catch an adjective string when I first write something, but I would likely catch it on edit. It's never too late to edit.
 
There is no puntuation, and the way I read it, it wasn't that long a string of adjectives:

in a
   cold -
   subdued melancholy -
        - world

in a cold world of subdued melancholy
