Colors in the Streets
Hue as neighborhood dialect.
Color in New Orleans is not backdrop. Scarlet argues. Cobalt negotiates. Vermilion shouts from the square what the mouth delayed.
Symphony is declined. Dialect is accurate — each block speaks saturation, French Quarter bright, City Park moss muted, both true.
Palette is not decoration. It is emotion filed in public.
The chromatic song keeps humming after dark.
