Dinosaur Colors

Until last week, paleontologists could offer no clear-cut evidence for the color of dinosaurs. Then researchers provided evidence that a dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx had a white-and-ginger striped tail. And now a team of paleontologists has published a full-body portrait of another dinosaur, in striking plumage.
Read about it in Wired Science.

Wonderland of Art and Color

Some 50 international artists each transformed a room in the Hotel Beethoven in the German city of Bonn. The hotel is a relic from the 1960-ties which is about to be demolished. But before the hotel goes down, the artists have taken the chance to turn it into a wonderland of art and color. The exhibition will last till the end of februari, when the building will be torn down.
Here's the website. Scroll down for more images.

Projections on Buildings

These days it is possible to color buildings in a different way than only paint or material. Colors can be projected onto a building. This is not limited to still images. You can project anything you like onto a building. And that's exactly what's being done by the Dutch company NuFormer. Check out this spectacular video.

First Upgrade of the Year

As you may have noticed, we had our first upgrade this year. We added a button on our homepage which links to the 'Paint Your Room in One Minute' video on Youtube. We also made the Pro license available for everyone. Finally we placed some of the kind endorsements we received at the bottom of the home page.
I hope you like it. We're already planning the next upgrade.

Paint-It-Yourself Dress

Still looking for something to wear this Christmas? Still hesitant about which color to wear? Don't look any further. Here's the colour-in dress.

Two artists who live around the corner of our office in Amsterdam came up with the concept. Cool, right?

Christmas Colors in Paris

Famous French designer JC de Castelbajac is at it again. He decorated two landmark facades in Paris for the holiday season. The first is a rainbow lighting for the BHV department store. The second a spectacular arrangement of colors at the Publicis Drugstore on the Champs Eslysee (image).

Strangely Painted Homes

Some homes have been painted quite peculiarly, if not outright strange. Here's an example:

This is 'Didden Village' home to the Didden family in Rotterdam, Holland. You'd almost think that blue is on sale at the local paint store. But no, this is an architectural concept. And a smart one too. It was conceived by renowned architect Winy Maas.
