Energy Gets New Colors
Author: Mike
It appears that the most significant change to Energy during the recent maintenance closure was the outside color. The familiar kaleidescope of color gave way to a corporate grey with a blue base and a red highlight. 
The curb around the flower garden is now painted in the new blue hue with a bed of red geraniums as the finishing touch.

It does bear mentioning that while the colorful exterior that came with EEA may be familiar, the new paint job actually goes back to the way the Universe of Energy was originally painted, with a gradient of reds, oranges and yellows. The paint job in the photo in this post was in an unfinished state, you can see what it looks like now in this photo:

And compare it to this classic postcard shot of the pavilion circa 1980s:

You’re correct! I believe that the colors that just were replaced came along around the time “Wonders of Life” was added to the area. The new… old colors work well. Perhaps it’s because it was designed that way in the first place. Maybe they’ll go back in time and uncover the windows in Innoventions.
Thanks for the great archive picture as well.
