When the high court was first completed, the gunnite-coated entrance piers were painted white, producing a surface closely harmonizing with the concrete and reminding some visitors of the pristine clarity of Greek temple columns. Eventually, however, Le Corbusier became dissatisfied with the color of the entrance portico and after much consideration produced in 1958 a new scheme for painting the columns and portico walls in bright contrasting colors. The inside wall to the let of the piers was to be black, with the adjacent pillar painted green. The center pier would be yellow, the right-hand pillar red, and the remaining portico wall primary blue. The execution of this design was delayed, partly because a latex-base paint would be required, and as this had not been included in the original cost of the building, funds had to be specially appropriated. Moreover, the project office may have been slow in executing the scheme because, except for Le Corbusier, no one felt very favorably about the change. Finally, in July, 1962, the job was completed.
