On Aruba and Curacao the buildings, houses and schools were painted in very bright colors, some were more bold than others, some were more muted. The only other island I have seen buildings painted in such vivid colors was on Borano, Italy near Venice. The colors gave the two islands such a unique feel and I swear I was walking into people while I was looking up at all the different colored building. Enjoy a small sampling of the variety of buildings on these two islands!

I love the photo of the floating market - so many pretty colors!
Isn't Aruba gorgeous! I would go back there in a heart beat. We rented bikes and rode them over to that shopping center. The bikes were the same color pink - my bike and my fiance's!
I went to Borano and loved it! Such a neat little village.
I think if I lived somewhere like that, I'd paint my house like that. Not here though, my HOA would chase me out of the neighborhood!
I love all of the colors! I wouldn't want my house painted such a bright color, but I love going to the beach and seeing all of the beach houses bright pretty colors!
Truly amazing! Love the colors!
Lots of love
