Brighton Blue gives way to green on the seafront railings

The turquoise shade known as Brighton Blue, used on the city's seafront railings and street furniture for more than 100 years, is being changed. Brighton & Hove City Council has chosen a similar colour, a light green known in the trade as RAL light green, as a way of cutting costs.

The council says the new shade is close to the familiar one, and the change will apply as railings and street furniture are repainted.
