color transforms


            London is famous for its bright red double decker buses. They are tourist attractions and many visitors enjoy sitting on the top level of a double decker bus and taking pictures of the city.
            The double decker buses in London are painted a rich, vibrant red. Its bold color choice is what makes the buses stand out so much and its what makes the buses so iconic.

            The bus contains many little details such as a white stripe that lines the bus as well as the dark windows. The warm hue of the bus makes the bus warm and inviting, instead of loud and overbearing. But nonetheless, the red is still a bold color choice.

            Today, many different countries use the double decker buses, it’s not just London anymore, but London is the place most famous for using them because of the bold color combination. In Germany, the buses are a bright yellow, and in other countries they are painted with fancy designs along the sides. Recently, the buses have started to gain some popularity because it’s more efficient to use a bus that’s twice as tall rather than bring out an entirely different bus to transport passengers on a busy bus line. That is one of the huge advantages of double decker buses. It's amazing how after all these years, the red still looks fresh and modern, yet the details of the bus keep it looking classic.
