Colours to brighten your day - orange, pink or red building?

I stopped to photograph this bright orange wall with the windows. A friend asked me, "why are you photographing that?"

Mostly when somebody takes a photo it is obvious why you are taking a picture. If you photograph a beautiful bride or a huge bright yellow sunflower others understand why and might get out their camera.

I replied, "The colour! The colour!"
On a sunny day the colors are more vibrant.

Orange, red, pink? It probably changes according to the time of day.

Look at those odd shape windows. Not set in a line. One square, one oblong vertical.

 I prefer curves. But the building could have been a straight slab with no windows, and all grey. In an otherwise dismal outlook, this bright building brightened the view and brightened my day.
