Manhattan can be coloured solid black, as far as I am concerned. Being
subtle in colour takes a lot of time and talent. It took maybe twenty
years for colour movies to forget about being coloured, and get down to
the business of being good (slight exaggeration). Television took its sweet
time too. Of course bad colour technology had something to do with it.
But then again, the Parthenon used to be painted (in three colours, I was
told), and finally mull over this one: it is precisely when in the United
States coloured people started being called black that blach & white television
became coloured. Now put that in your frame buffer, Eugene.
