One of these days, I’ll stop posting pictures of electric cars, because they’ll be so commonplace.

A D.C. Taxicab Commission committee tasked with exploring a number of uniform color schemes for the city’s 6,500 taxicabs recommended today that red be adopted as the color that all cabs will eventually have to be painted….”Red is a color that is strongly associated with the District, by both residents and visitors. The stars and bars on the District’s flag are red. Each of the major sports franchises in the District uses a shade of red as a prominent part of its uniforms. In the area of transportation, both the District’s Circulator and Capital Bikeshare vehicles are red,” said Commissioner Stanley W. Tapscott, who sat on the committee reviewing the proposals and weighing the public’s response.

Well, fair enough. I still think white would be a better choice. Thanks to other cities, we have a pretty good sense of what it would look like. Here’s Madrid, for example.
