“Why are the houses in Greenland all different colors? I recently found  out. In the past, different trades had their own colors – and they  owned houses for their employees, and so by association their houses  were that color too. For example, the hospital was yellow and so were  the houses of doctors and nurses, the shops were blue as were the  shopkeepers houses, the utilities (water, gas etc) were green and the  administration houses were red. Although this isn’t the rule anymore,  most hospitals are still yellow (except for Ilulissat – only red  hospital in the country), shops are still blue etc.”
