In colour

So, this is it.
I realised yesterday that I did not have a version in colour of this building. No wonder. It is really ugly. But for the sake of comparison, I went out and took this.

Very pleased you have shown us the original. Complementary colours always look bold and daring. What were they thinking?

Nice shot

[Christina]

Oh that is truly horrid! So much in b&w. Perhaps someone was colour blind (what other excuse could there be....).

[Lesley]

It’s beautiful in its ugliness, I think. A difficult period for architecture lovers.

[Susan Wakely]

Not the prettiest but gets attention.

[Laura]

It's interesting.

[Mags]

Wow! Great pop of red.

[borof]

I think this version gives the real atmosphere of the building. It may not be to everyone's taste but some modern architects are happy to use such blatant colours.

[Ingrid]

Not my taste either, but I love seeing this in color! Thank you for going out there and posting!

[Diana]

A most unusual looking building, the colours don't really make it any prettier ;-)

[Bucktree]

You’re right. The b & w is so much better

[KWind]

Cool colours!

[Carole Sandford]

It’s making a statement perhaps, but not a beautiful one!

[Cazzi]

Wow! I didnt expect it to be so bold. Definitely a talking point.

[Pyrrhula]

At least it is striking. Moder architecture is based on it. ( I think)

[Corinne]

So colorful !

[Yao RL]

Ugly? I think it is not dull.

[Kathy A]

It certainly stands out but I think its rather ugly too

I see it like this: a bored badly-paid worker blurted out green and red as colours (maybe just as a joke). His superior approved - can't really justify that. And then, the owner paid for it. Afterwards, all 3 were probably standing across the road and looking in awe: "Isn't that beautiful?"

@monikozi What visionary abilities you have. That must have happened. :-)

[Jacqueline]

Wonderful to see it in colour and what those filters did!
