These are some of my favorites:









Just planted some geraniums in my back yard and they pale by comparison.

I agree, those NYC pics in particular are a far too grey or brown to be considered colourful! The pics posted on the first page are lovely.

My vote would be Burano, Italy:

There is multiple interpretations to how people feel about colorful buildings. There is meticulous intricate details of building design involved relevant in colorful architecture, and not only about actual color. Those buildings in photos I have up show magnificent visual representation, and those buildings have shades of colorful yellow, blue, red, gold, and silver.

A majority of people love, and respect those buildings in New York City, and Bucharest including me, and what you said is false, and not relevant.

Nice work in your photo. I feel your photo of somewhere in NYC is technically colorful with meticulous intricate details crafted into a building, and in colors silver, and white, even if some posters somehow don't notice a simple observation in reality of architecture in buildings.

Sorry, but my opinion is as valid as anyone else's and certainly isn't false. Those buildings appear very lacking in colour to myself, and some of the other posters here. And if you really want to take the word to mean intricate or meticulous, they're hardly the Sagrada Familia or the like!

Well, we have to agree to disagree then, and end a debate. What you said is quite offensive, false, and not appropriate. I love my own photos of some buildings in New York City, and Bucharest. They are very interesting, stunning, and colorful to me based on meticulous intricate visual design, color, and a lot of other people like those photos too.

Sagrada Familia, and Baruno Italy is stunning in another very different way.

Have you contributed any of your own photos in this topic yet?

Sorry, it wasn't a criticism of your photography and certainly didn't aim to offend you. Please don't take it that way! I still stand by my opinion of the buildings though.

I'll have a dig through some of my own, though I'm not sure how to post them

I know this may sound silly but upload them to Photobucket and then use that url to post them here.
