Complementary Colours

I drive past this weathered door most days and have often meant to stop and take a photo of it.
Today it made a handy entry for the monthly challenge.

Generally I haaaaaate tagging with a passion but I do have to agree with Karen's observation on this one; the fact that the door has been far from cared for and the curious contrast in colours and word make this an interesting subject. It's well cropped to keep to the essentials of the subject.

Nice find! Did you ever take one of those tests where the color is spelled in a color other than itself?

Neat!

Maybe the crimson has faded!!

Well seen, Mairéad. I love the colour being different to the word :-)

A great find and well captured. I love the very weathered look of the door as well. V.

So much to see here. In addition to the colors, I like the effect of the peeling paint.

I love the colors. Funny that Crimson is spelled out in green... :)

These colors look so good together here. I like the brightness of this urban decay. Not what you would normally expect. V.
