Like blue, red or pink, maybe a few psychedelic designs would help brighten up our day! Instead of dreary old grey all the time.

Agree with jon h. When we went to Barcelona I
thought it was beautiful.
The buildings are very ornate and coloured - just
like out of a fairytale.
In the papers yesterday it said English children were
the most depressed. That was put down to the environment
that we live in. The writer said that Holland was a really
nice place for children to be. Due to the fact that there
was less traffic etc., and children are encouraged to walk.
I don't know about the children - we all need cheering up!!

I agree with you It would make peoples day a little brighter. I think most buildings are gray because thats the color of the stone/ cement. What ever is on the exterior of the building. Using colored stones or painting the entire building is not only costly but time consuming. And odds are the tax payers would have to pay for it so as much as I would like more color. I can live with gray how about you?

Check out Southern Ireland,The West Country the North of Scotland and the fishing villages of North Yorkshire there the pace of life is more relaxed and people take a pride in their surroundings and try to make what they have as attractive as they can.

In ancient Greece, statues were painted in lifelike colours. In Africa and other countries houses are painted with a variety of colours. In the UK a civic building painted yellow may not have gravitas it is thought to deserve. Heck, let's try it.

I lived in Waterford, Ireland for a while and opposite my flat was a row of little terraced houses all painted different colours. I liked it. Most towns have boring buildings.

Yes like they do in seaside towns. I could be a particular colour for each town.
Then again it could end up like Balamory - and we'd have lots of dodgy guys like Archie in the pink castle!!!

I've always thought the same thing. It will happen eventually...after people get over themselves...trying to be 'tasteful', 'sophisticated', etc...quit trying to put on airs. What is more boring than a gray city?
Another area of color to be is text...it will be easy to create words of color to express emotion.

I saw pictures of Barnsley's new bus station last week.
It is the most hideous architectural and aesthetic disater I have ever seen.
Barnsley will be the laughing stock of yorkshire.
Please bring back grey!
