I created a new visual assignment where you take pictures of color schemes from The Wire that appear in real life. While you can definitely set the shot up, I decided to try and find instances of red, yellow, & blue together while I was walking back from the ITCC.

Here are some of the pictures I took:

Red, yellow, & blue are pretty apparent in this shot of the fire hydrant and paint marking on the street.

Not only is there red, yellow, & blue on the yellow car, but there’s also a red dumpster and blue porta potties in the construction site. There’s also a bit of the green/ red contrast we’ve discussed before that you can see with the green cherry picker against the red brick of the new student center.

This is a pretty simple, but lucky example of the red, yellow, and blue color scheme. It’s three cars lined up on the street.

Since all of these pictures were taken on the street, I could easily see these shots appearing in an episode when they’re out on the street watching people. It’s very subtle, but if you’re looking for it, you’ll find it.
