The Subway-Color-Archive (S-C-A) aims to chronicle the layered chromatic and sensory-based elements of MTA platforms. 8th Avenue Independent Line (IND) stations between 207th St. and Jay St. Metrotech have nearly a century of color history, now dissected and revisited. Studies from 2023-25 highlight the columns that support this massive system and their expansive colorscapes.
