Colour doesn't have to mean colourful

In my early days of putting together websites, I used to confuse "colour" and "colourful". It's a common trait of the programmer who's required to do a little graphics art as well to use string, vibrant colours and pictures ... but there are actually times where subtle colouring is much more effective.

Here are three pictures taken in the last couple of days. Yes, they ARE colour pictures rather than monochrome ones, but the colour is all the more effective from being subdued.
