Every station on the Hong Kong metro (called the MTR) is a different colour. The idea behind being so its very easy to identify them. The bonus side effect is each journey becomes a rainbow of colours.
They add an unexpected warmth to your communte, insulating you from the grey concrete and harsh neon of the city above.
