Cities Of Color: 6 Most Uniquely Colored Cities Of The World
Color has a significant impact on many aspect of our lives. Color can
impact a person’s emotions, draw their attention, and put them in
the right frame of mind for the situation at hand.
Cities are more than just the steel and concrete. They are the result
of their heritage that often translates into not just their architecture
but also their core color. Some times cities tend to be consciously
color coded to reflect a predominant color while at others become
beautiful Crayola-colored and candy-striped cities. And sometimes it
is not so conscious.
But irrespective, when you think of small neighborhoods or even
entire cities, a specific color palette often tends to stick in one’s
mind. Sometimes this color is based on the color of the paint and
the stone, other times it’s natural elements and sometimes, it is just
a feeling.
New York is brown, Paris is aquamarine and San Francisco is a pastel
rainbow. Sometimes the colors are so subtle that their perception
differs between individuals. And then there are others whose colors
just stand out unmistakably.
