Today in CasaCARA, some lovely picture of brownstones of color: Here's just a tiny excerpt. Go to CC for more.
"You've got a brownstone, you’re going to keep it brown, one hopes. If you’ve got unpainted brick, you’re going to keep it unpainted,
most likely, because it’s easier to maintain that way. But that leads
to a sea of brown and dark red buildings, which is nowhere near as
cheery as it might be.

"Here’s to the rare, vividly painted facade. These
happen, mostly where a building was painted before and the maintenance
solution going forward is either to strip or re-paint. Re-painting is
less messy, less costly, and brings a welcome dose of color to our
streets."
