There’s one very easy way to make the world a more colorful place—paint over all the gray spaces. That dull looking PC in front of you might not be the wisest place to start, but the initiative to add a dash of color to the world is very real, and more details about the idea can be viewed at the Let’s Colour Project website.

To promote the scheme, this video has been shot, which shows people rapidly painting over blank spaces, all shot to a soundtrack by Sigur Ros mainman Jonsi. “The people in the film are not actors, they are real people who rolled up their sleeves to transform their community with color,” says the promo blurb with the clip. The folks at Let’s Colour are also running this blog, which contains further ideas on how to brighten up the globe.
