Color Chips: First Avenue Market Collection

It was a rainy morning last week coming back from yoga practice. I've seen the market before, but in the rain and without any cars parked in front it stood out.

This palette of three colors is very beautiful, but seems out of place in NYC. The drabness of the gray and white with the blood red reminds us of Eastern Europe or of Bauhaus Germany before the war.

it does look dismal and eastern bloc!

hey that's my street! :)

Probably not the original color scheme. My guess is that a lot of the grey surfaces were originally the same color - or just white - as the present white areas .

very masculine

Right around the corner from my house! And across the street from my previous one!
