Color Schemes: Scenes from Greensboro

This week, we’re taking time out from talking marketing to celebrate a few vignettes from our city. From muted downtown streets to the Bicentennial Gardens, we’re finding color inspiration in some of our favorite Greensboro spots.

We’re big believers that every city offers inspiration – sometimes you just have to stop and notice it. With a bustling downtown and expansive trails, Greensboro offers the best of both city and nature views. No matter where you are in Greensboro, we guarantee that there’s a dynamic color scheme somewhere in your view.

Dappled Depot

Soft blues, purples and pinks are diffused by the fog drifting in over the J. Douglas Galyon Depot in Downtown Greensboro. We love the soft hues of this nighttime scene.


 Botanical Brights 

Great for a short walk, quiet reflection, or reading on a comfy park bench, the Tanger Bicentennial Garden is one of our favorite spots in Greensboro. Rich colors line the pathways, and a variety compelling sculptures can be found tucked among the foliage. For more secluded scenery, pop right across the road to the Bog Garden. 


Clear Skies over Kress

Crisp blue skies highlight the pristine facades of the Kress and Meyers Buildings’ on South Elm Street. Changing leaves provide small touches of green and yellow to this palette.


Retro Revolution

Tucked in a quiet corner of Revolution Mill’s courtyard, this retro mural installation is a bright pop of color among a sea of brick. These colors are bright and muted all at once!

Lite Brite LeBauer 

The sky is illuminated over LeBauer Park by Janet Echelman’s Where We Met installation. Our two downtown parks provide a great place to gather, celebrate, and play while immersing yourself in all the city has to offer. Bright colors are especially present in these fun and family-friendly spaces!

South Elm Snow

On an all white day, the Green Bean’s bright facade offers a pop of color among an otherwise muted look at South Elm Street.


Guilford Grey 

On a rainy and grey day, the heart of downtown has mostly subdued tones to offer up. But this mood board is a favorite because you can see the Guilford Building in the upper right portion of the photo… can you spot us waving from our office windows in the top right corner? Just kidding…
