Walt Disney wanted everything in his theme parks to look simply
amazing. Much of the magic of the parks is about what you see and how you see
it. But there are times when what you DON’T see is just as important – backs of
buildings, construction scaffolding, utility boxes, etc. For this, Disney
employs two colors: Go Away Green and Blending Blue. Go Away Green is designed
to match whatever foliage is nearby. Just as your eyes are irresistibly drawn
to things like red stop lights and orange traffic cones, they naturally ignore shades
of super boring green. When Walt Disney World was being built, the structures
they wanted to hide were farther apart and taller. They asked the scenery
department in Anaheim for sky blue paint. But when the blue arrived, it wasn’t
even close. Apparently, a sunny day in the Sunshine State is a much more vivid hue
than in the Golden State. Who knew?
