Let's paint the town pink
A few other bloggers have caught this - a town in India plans to paint itself pink. The always vigilant Boing Boing, has a similar story on a prison where everything is colored pink - sheets, underwear, because, at least in part, "pink has been known to calm aggression". An installation at Singapore's City Hall, as part of the Singapore 2006 Biennale, makes good use of pink in the facade. Is this related to certain recent changes in Singapore's criminal justice system? Whatever the case, pink is a cheerful color, and it complements institutional grey.Technorati Tags: India, pink, Singapore
