I guess it is a bit ridiculous that they're telling us what colors they're going to paint the new shop. I'm sure we'd all be equally happy if they just left the current color scheme as no-one has really commented on it. Who cares?
To me, it always looked like they went down to Home Depot and got whatever Oops Paint they had laying around.

He isn’t actually explaining anything. It’s a bunch of legal,and marketing proved circular justifications that often come across as being devised after the fact and overly emphasize the importance of aspects that he has literally had ripped out of the park.
Anything to get rid of the 70s orange, brown, tan, beige colors.Color tests were seen here as well:

From that standpoint… perhaps it points more towards the overall lack of vision behind these decisions aswell as the amount of actual imagination & creative input & freedom they allow & respect within WDI atm…. Especially if the reasonings he’s giving (that obviously came from & ‘have’ to be approved & edited by inner committees) don’t make any sense, come across as sounding “phony” and disingenuous, & go completely against how EPCOT & the orignal buildings were originally envisioned & designed.
Agreed. These new colors look nice and they kind of echo back to the original paint scheme (meaning simple and not a rainbow vomit of colors). It's really a case of "less is more".
Obviously part of his job description is to communicate what they're doing through his Instagram account. Whether you are agree with what is happening in Epcot, do you really think there is no logic to what they are doing?
It’s not part of anyone else’s job description. We don’t see these types of posts about other projects.
No, I would care very much. I, as well as many others, have commented on the current color scheme several times over the last several years. It looks awful and just about anything is an improvement over it.
Would have liked the detail on something significant, say, Guardians or Rat (but we already know about it). It IS just a gift shop, after all.
Agreed...I'm not overwhelmed..Unless they put subtle nods to Epcot's past in the store or at least...Oh I dunno..Show what merch were to expect when it opens would be more interesting then what paint swatches we got at from Home Depot they are going to use...
It's already on the floor of Club Cool, just as the yellow is the accent for the floor in Creations.
Seems the colours he posted about are 3rd from the left...the lightest white and darkest grey sample.Color tests were seen here as well:

Honestly, it comes down to marketing. Disney Imagineering always has calculated updates to drum up press, or attention around less-glamorous projects. The big ones generate their own buzz. Disney has always functioned in this way and it has served them well.
