Muscat Municipality is urging homeowners and property owners to repaint their buildings in various shades of white. This new initiative, starting soon, aims to improve the city’s appearance and maintain its traditional architectural style.
Benefits of a White Palette
The recommended shades range from bright white and ivory to softer tones like pearl and alabaster. These colors not only help keep buildings cooler by reflecting sunlight but also align with the traditional Omani and Islamic architectural styles. The initiative is designed to create a cohesive and attractive urban environment while respecting Muscat’s cultural heritage.
Preserving Tradition with Modern Touches
The municipality’s plan also includes adding architectural details such as decorative arches and stucco finishes. These elements, combined with the white palette, will help enhance the city’s unique charm. Residents are encouraged to use different white tones to add sophistication and maintain Muscat’s elegant and recognizable cityscape.
