The chosen colors, BTW, are a battleship grey and a kind of vomit yellow/green.
More Rambo than Rimbaud?

I'm not sure if its repainting had been finished when I last saw the building
but at the time my first thought was not of Rimbaud. There is this, however.
Voyelles
A noir, E blanc, I rouge, U vert, O bleu: voyelles,
Je dirai quelque jour vos naissances latentes:
A, noir corset velu des mouches eclatantes
Qui bombinent autour des puanteurs cruelles,
Golfes d'ombre; E, candeurs des vapeurs et des tentes,
Lances des glaciers fiers, rois blancs, frissons d'ombelles;
I, pourpres, sang crache, rire des levres belles
Dans la colere ou les ivresses penitentes;
U, cycles, vibrements divins des mers virides,
Paix des patis semes d'animaux, paix des rides
Que l'alchimie imprime aux grands fronts studieux;
O, supreme Clairon plein des strideurs etranges,
Silences traverses des [Mondes et des Anges]:
--O l'Omega, rayon violet de [Ses] Yeux!
