Marvao is a fortified hilltop medieval village in Portugal where all the doors are painted red. They vary from weathered doors where the red has aged to more of muted pink to this newly painted beauty that is virtually edible in its redness. I think it is the most striking red I’ve ever witnessed. I once read an interview with a well-known photographer who was known primarily for his black and white images. He said he wouldn’t photograph a door just because it was red. I would.
