About "Monochrome New York"

On an overcast day in New York, you can always rely on the yellow taxis to bring colour and energy, when everything else can appear so muted. Through the grey drizzly haze, the taxi's yellow bodies and red lights appear to beam even brighter. The blue of a pedestrian's umbrella gives off an electric luminosity. Scenes like this remind me of how colour has the ability to completely alter the mood of a scene.
