Pretty in pink

Over the decades of taking photos of Ireland’s railway built heritage, I noticed that different periods see station buildings and other paintable structures in one particular colour across the network, which would suggest that Irish Rail buy their paint in bulk.

Looking back across my archive (over 15,000 railway images), there was a period where yellow was the norm and another where grey took over.

Passing through the walkway in Connolly Station from Amiens Street to the IFSC, I noticed a section of the wall painted in pink. Any bets on pink station buildings in the second half of this decade?
