Posted by Alan Follett on Mon Dec 22 13:43:33 2014, in response to What color should a future CTA rail line be?, posted by Pink Jazz on Fri Dec 19 20:24:44 2014. The three CTA rail extensions least unlikely to be built would not require new color designations:- Extension of the Red Line from 95th to 130th. (This one actually seems to have a fair shot at coming to fruition.) - Yellow Line extension beyond Dempster, perhaps to Old Orchard. Seems to be on the back burner at present. - Orange Line extension to 79th Street. Not in my lifetime. One problem with color-names for transit lines, as systems become more complex, is that for many people there are only about eight or ten nameable shades. A lot of people, especially men, do not have a more detailed color vocabulary. Without reference to Google, I would find it difficult to recognize the difference between turquoise and aqua, or purple and violet, or ecru and taupe. Alan Follett Hercules, CA |
