Now in living color.

I never really thought about what the great depression would have looked like in color. It always just seemed appropriate for it to be a still shot in black and white. The contrast, the starkness, the bleakness, that was the depression. This Plog post [here] shows a different picture. It contains an archive of rare color photos taken between 1939 and '43 and, despite some of the subject matter, seems to cheer-up the depression a bit.
What do you think?

those are beautiful pictures. I agree... less depressing in color.
