A good shade!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very stout looking building.
ReplyDeleteThey do appear orange! Nice clean looking buildings.
ReplyDeleteOfficially, the colour is terracotta but in the right light, it looks more orange to me.

I"m not sure but for a long time stations were painted in white, cream or light grey. Then they decided to paint these old stations in heritage colours which I think looks so much better.
