Perched on the side of Signal Hill, Bo-Kaap is an explosion of colour and history. What were once similar, white houses under the colonial regime are now a riot of colour in every hue imaginable—brazen blues to vibrant oranges. These colours are not mere ornamentation—they represent freedom and cultural pride to the residents that call this place home.

Off the coast of Naples is a small island full of charm. The houses of Procida are coloured in pale pinks, sunny yellows, and sea blues—an ancient tradition that made it easier for fishermen to find their homes from the ocean. It's not only gorgeous; it's full of stories and life.

Each summer, the fields of Valensole are transformed into endless purple rows. The air is filled with the smell of lavender, and the vision of buzzing bees flying over the flowers adds to the surreal ambiance. It's the type of place where you feel like slowing down and drinking it all in.

In the town of Marlboro, Vermont, Hogback Mountain offers one of the most breathtaking views. Especially in the fall, when the entire landscape turns to an expanse of red, orange, and gold trees, making it harsh to imagine standing anywhere other than inside an artwork.

Jaipur, India

Strolling through Jaipur is like walking through a city that has been dipped in blush. This unusual colour was applied to much of the city in 1876, as a welcoming gesture for the visit of British royalty. The colour has since remained, with this warm hue enveloping everything from palaces to homes, imparting to the city that soft, rosy charm contrasting with its desert background.

Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain), Peru

High in the Andes, this mountain derives its name from the red, yellow, green, and even turquoise stripes that traverse it. These colours are from various minerals within the earth. At more than 5,000 metres above sea level, the panorama is spectacular in more than one sense.
