Posted by Michael549 on Wed Feb 10 19:59:48 2010, in response to Re: Asians find the term ''yellow line'' offensive, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Wed Feb 10 12:31:59 2010. From a previous message: "That can't be the reason. If they chose the 1979 colors on the basis of what color the dominant express line was, the Lexington Avenue line would be shown in purple today. Nassau Street would be shown in black (the J/QJ's old color). Because purple would be the Lex's color, the 7 would also have to be a different color."While there is an issue of which line on the dominant express on a major route on the subway system. The color purple or magenta used on the #4 line would have clashed with the red color used for the #2 line in Brooklyn. The color black having been reserved for shuttle trains meant that line like the #5, and the J-train would have to use a different color. The color of the #7 line was orange which was taken by the Sixth AVenue lines, so it was given its current color, especially since it did not share its route with another line. Mike |
