Deep red with a gray swoosh. That’s how the D.C. Taxicab Commission will propose the city’s taxicabs be painted.

Bike lanes around D.C. are slowly turning green as part an initiative to enhance visibility.

Despite a survey in which District residents said they preferred yellow as a uniform paint job for the city’s taxi fleet, Mayor Vince Gray and Councilmember Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3), who sponsored the query, want to go with red and white.

If the issue were left to public opinion alone, it looks like the District would have all-yellow cabs.

Last night, photographers in the District were able to capture a colored ring in the sky around the moon.
