Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Mon Nov 15 14:12:52 2010, in response to Re: Oddities in an early 1940s Subway Map, posted by Randyo on Mon Nov 15 13:45:49 2010. Broadway-Lafayette had a tile band much closer to that at the Court Street station (Transit museum) - the center was lighter (powder blue) and the edge was very similar (Court Street leans a bit more towards aquamarine). 2nd Avenue through York Street all had the same color as installed (Delancey's has been altered during rehab) - two tone violet, with the edge slightly darker than the center. York Street appears to have faded somewhat over time, giving it a bluish tint. Delancey Street (current color blue-violet lake) original color survives in the tablets.I suppose the mustard yellow at 7th Avenue ("F") followed by the spanish orange (15th Street) followed by the orange-yellow (Fort Hamilton) qualifies for the above. Also - on the Queens IND - the express stations are always a shade (or a few shades) darker than the local stations - with the first local stop after the color change being lighter than the rest, varying slightly darker towards the express stops. wayne |
