Exploring the colourful corridors of the Grand Budapest hotel
And the design is top to toe gorgeous. Immaculate colour floods every impeccably-framed scene from beginning to end, from the hotel’s royal icing pink fascia to the fruity damson uniforms to the ravishing red lift.
Rich cyan and powder blue complete a fabulous fairytale palette that draws you effortlessly into its fantasy.
So how did Wes Anderson pick those wonderful colours? How did he know what they’d look like on his hotel walls? I wonder if he’s secretly a designerpaint fan?
Did Little Greene Mambo inspire his plum?
Did Designers Guild Dianthus Pink tickle his fancy?
Did Albany Brighton Rock lead to his lift?
Hmm… I expect so! An Oscar for designerpaint next time I think 🙂
