The blue at the local stations east of Broadway-EastNY is indeed attractive, but the "white" wall tiles are too yellowish. Maybe they looked better under incandescent lights, but they don't look too nice today.

I remember that when I was a kid (before I figured out the IND color sequence), Queens Plaza and Roosevelt Av looked like the same dark bluish-purplish color under the incandescent lights. The fluorescents installed in the '70s made the purple/blue distinction clear.
