How different we think of colors

Muse Resturant

Yesterday, I was at the Anchorage Museum eating appetizers at the very bold Muse Restaurant. I went to use the restroom and that’s when I was reminded of what happened when I was there at the grand opening of the Museum expansion.

I was standing in line to use the restroom while admiring the architecture and materials used, when a woman interrupted my thoughts with something like this: “why would they make it so gray and dark, what’s wrong with color?”. I told her that I thought it was beautiful. The woman, who obviously had a right to her own opinion, looked me up and down and said “yeah, well – you kind of blend in here so I’m not surprised you say that”…

Between the red restaurant and the orange foyer, I find the gray restroom just perfect.

Back to yesterday. I caught myself laughing out loud as I was thinking about me, blending in with the restrooms. As I was washing my hands, I looked at my outfit composed of gray hues, black and blue and I found myself blending in with the restrooms again – and being pretty proud of it!

    I like the story. . .people and their opinions! ;) Even though gray is not really a color (rather a shade) I am quite fond of it, too!
