The reason escapes me
Did they run out of paint? Or energy? Or did they realize that’s an awful shade of green?

PS: When I was in architecture school, my professor Dan MacGilvray called that particular shade of green “snake shit green” and said we’d flunk his class if we used that color in any of our renderings. That threat – however hollow it may have been – still hangs around in my head.

I want to think the paint-mixing person at Home Depot tried to talk them out of this color…

Just wait a few days and from the look of it all the trees will be gone and the whole building will be snake shit green, at which point black and white will be mandatory.
