colors and subways unite

paint all platforms one color for the direction the train is bound. northbound-cornflower blue, southbound-canary yellow, eastbound-burnt umber, and westbound-purple/blue.

red/green color-blindness taken into account. purple/blue and blue/purple blindless not taken into account.

suggestion: crayola crayon sponsored/paid for, thank you. media roll out: fall back-to-school time (ie. back-to-understanding-directions-underground time).

tested well on confused nyc tourists who don't understand express trains or underground transportation, not matter how simple the syntax on your signs.
