New Walgreens Reveals Future Color Scheme

Oh no. Oh no, no, no. You’re mucking this up terribly. Was that chilly white just a base coat? You were looking as beautiful as a Banana Republic. Must you really dress yourself as a Tex-Mex children’s hospital? Please reconsider.

From Sexpigeon, an update on the Walgreens-in-progress on Cesar Chavez/Mission.

I must say, I agree with the criticism so far.  However! I’m feeling positive toward 2k10 and all that it may bring.  Perhaps our new Walgreens will end up looking like a pimp pastel Mondrian?

    Any graffiti artists want to fix this? I’ll buy the cans.

    Ugh, those colors are terrible – I live in the Mission, not Miami.

    Here are the site drawings. The renderings show the glorious, clean white, but the elevations show the cabana-paint-splosion.

    Calmense. These are primers. Precita Eyes will be there soon to paint the mural.

    This is really unfortunate.

    Also…does Precita Eyes have a monopoly on murals in the Mission? I mean, I’m glad they’re around, doing their thing, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some other things as well. The mural on FoodsCo is incredibly refreshing, no? I just fear another vibrant-to-the-point-of-pushy mess-o’-faces made so cheerful and reverent that it rings wholly false.

    I don’t know, those colors look pretty similar to these.

  6. [...] Mission Mission and Sexpigeon alert us to the Cesar Chavez Walgreens Color [...]

  7. I guess we forgot what primer looks like.

    How many gdamn Walgreens do we need on Mission Street?

    Four, apparently!

    Thats 16th, 23rd, 30th and now Cesar Chavez!

    Oh lord. Please don’t allow it to look like an easter egg year round building. Isn’t there a concept for medium color scheme? Reminds me of Peet’s coffee cup design with multiple pastel colors. UGLY!

    I live next to this building and have my eyes ponder at these colors everyday, night, and years. Please go back to the drawing board!

    Those colors are dreadful. The developers must hire a professional color consultant and repaint

    For primer these colors are quite nice; if they are the real thing, we are in deep trouble.

    this blog sucks.

  13. [...] the real story today is about color palettes. Burrito Justice and Mission Mission point to the paint job on the new building going up/Walgreens at Mission and Cesar Chavez. [...]
