theres a state ntl guard building where i used to live, on a busy thoroughfare, sandwiched in between a busy shopping plaza and a bowling alley/sports center. id pass it every day. the building is painted a muddy green, and is only accented with a muddy maroon - corners, lettering, awning etc. i remarked earlier living there on how ugly those colors were. few army vehicles, hummers strewn about. did not look like a happening or exciting place. ugly colors. it wouldnt be until much later passing through i thought about the color scheme. and it clicked - i never paid real attention to the place. at all. plaza, sports center. it was invisible! the ugly green and maroon combo - like freddie kreugers sweater - made you not want to look at it, or hurt your eyes trying to process information - on purpose. now i look for people who paint their houses in those colors, and i understand. about the part of matching the color of the sky - i find across the country the blue color of the sky varies. im sure the lighter blue sky of florida differs from the darker, almost greyer blue above nevada (the blue on their license plates)
