Willemstad, Curaçao, Kingdom of the Netherlands: the historic waterfront of Willemstad, is renowned for its brightly painted colonial-era buildings, whose vivid palette of pastels and bold tones has become a defining feature of the city’s identity. Originating under Dutch colonial rule, the use of varied colors reportedly stemmed from an 1817 decree requiring houses to be painted in shades other than white, partly to reduce glare from the tropical sun. Over time, this regulation and local preference evolved into a cultural tradition, with residents and authorities maintaining and restoring the colorful facades, which now form part of Willemstad’s UNESCO World Heritage–listed urban landscape.
