Fall Colors in Chicago

June 6, 2023

Northern Illinois can expect vibrant autumn hues earlier than normal this year due to cooler seasonal temperatures causing leaves to stop producing chlorophyll for photosynthesis, thus prompting their color change.

Wallace Rice designed the Chicago flag, featuring two light blue stripes on a white background and four six-pointed red stars that represent historical events in Chicago. It's now one of the most recognized flags nationwide.

Blue

Blue is an attractive color that symbolizes loyalty and trust, drawing inspiration from nature's palette. As it is also associated with the sky, many logos often use blue as part of their color palettes; moreover, jeans and Julianna Rae pajamas often come in blue hues; members of Bloods gang wear red while their rivals, the Crips wear blue.

Chicago Blackhawks hockey team colors include gold, black, red and blue - which are featured prominently on their jerseys, logo and other team materials. Furthermore, these are also the official colors of University of Chicago where Phil the Phoenix can often be found at football or basketball games or school events as mascot.

Loyola University Maryland stands out in a competitive marketplace through their iconic maroon and white colors, instantly recognisable to customers everywhere.

Red

The Chicago flag's blue, red, and white colors represent Lake Michigan and the Chicago River's north branch as well as geographic boundaries and important historical events in Chicago. It was designed by Wallace Rice in 1917.

Red is an eye-catching hue, standing out against blue skies or green trees and standing out more than any other color during daylight hours. As such, it has long been used as the international color for stop signs, highway and intersection signals, etc.

White represents martyrdom and the Holy Spirit, making it the color of choice when identifying bishops and cardinals at Catholic masses. White also serves as the signature color for many political parties that lean left or center-left globally - such as Communist Party USA, Social Democrats of France & Germany, Puerto Rican Popular Democratic Party as well as Chicago Bulls of NBA.

White

The Chicago flag features white to symbolize Lake Michigan and the north branch of the Chicago River at its core, Western and Southern Chicago regions on either side, four red six-pointed stars representing significant events, designed by Wallace Rice in 1917.

CTA began designating rail lines by color in the early 1980s to make the system more user-friendly for newcomers or occasional riders, out-of-town visitors, and those speaking English as a second language. Today, Chicagoans are familiar with this color-coded system.

When selecting white paint for your home, the key to selecting an ideal shade depends on its compatibility with its brick. An off-white hue offers classic style; pairing this hue with black accents works particularly well as it will complement most old Chicago brick structures.

Black

Black is a color that goes well with most brick house colors, though it's important to remember that not all brick colors are the same (some may even vary slightly in their hue). Therefore, it is advisable to always consult a paint swatch to ensure the chosen hue will complement your home.

Wallace Rice designed the flag of Chicago in 1917 after winning a design competition sponsored by the City Council. It consists of two light blue stripes against a white background featuring four red six-pointed stars.

The new Chicago palette features vibrant primary colors that easily associate themselves with its identity, including flag blue, star red, and black. Secondary hues add texture and allow it to be flexible across applications; in addition, this palette also includes neutral tones inspired by sky, lake and CTA transport services.
