Sure. And on a smaller scale the same could be said for parts of Chicago, such as around 43rd, 47th and 51st on the Green Line, which once were MAJOR stations...
One issue with gray on the CTA system is the station signs. As you know, the part of the signs that bears the station name or symbol is (dark) gray with white...
Brooklyn (and all of New York City) has a very strange transit hisory, very different from Chicago's. Both streetcars and Els in Brooklyn were under common...
Gray is not a good color for mapmaking. Gray blends in with everything, looks like the register was off when the thing was printed. Pink (like any bright...
A lighter shade of grey could easily have been used in clear contrast with the graphite-colored signage. Most of the signage uses a very dark grey, if it's to...
Remember, somewhere about half the day is nighttime. Plus there are a lot of rainy, cloudy days. Why use a color combination that "might" be distinguishable,...
I'm not sure I agree at all. I think it would have been in clear contrast with all of the other lines, unlike pink, which, on a sun-baked paper map where...
I don't think that makes any sense. Regardless of brightness, a gray with a high enough contrast to the graphite background is always going to look different...
Color fading, which affects red more than any other color I know, is a problem. Red will go pink in time. But gray will become lighter, too, eventually...
Tony, you just don't like pink, do you? Well, I happen to not like gray. Too drab. Pink is bright, pink is colorful, pink is eye-catching, pik looks good when...
What on Earth did that have to do with anything? ... From: CHICAGOTRANSIT@yahoogroups.com [mailto:CHICAGOTRANSIT@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Alfie Martin ...
Yeah, but when you've got red and pink, and you're telling people not to follow a route with a specific designation, and saying "pink," there's going to be...
Now, TC, we are getting into a very different discussion, that of what is the better way to designate a route. Assigning a letter (or number) does indeed make...
Alfie's posts are often a certain stream of consciouness. Think of them as an impressionistic tableu rather than a logical technical essay. They can't ...
I have no problem with pink. I just think it's illogical to choose a color that is similar to other colors when you're using "names." Black, white, and grey...
Yes, of course that punkers with pink hairs and different color hairs like rocker punks do. ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
Tony, anything have to do is memorize nouns with the color pink as we learned in school while we're little kids. It's a pink person, a pink place or a pink ...
... No, there could be at least three or four more, based on color distinction. Check the Paris Métro map. And the pink (at least the one I hope to use) is...
I think gray can look very good on a map, the great Graham Garfield did this map for me: http://www.tinyurl.com/juh99 , and to me the shade of gray he used...
The Trouble with naming the lines after colors is, men make the decisions. That restricts the colors used to just the primaries and the secondarys. If women...
