Following residents’ feedback that the colour of the lift lobbies that were painted in red was too strong, we have re-painted the ceiling of the lift lobby of Blk 640B to white, and will similarly be re-painting some of the walls white, to tone it down. In a Telegram poll done, the views of residents on the colours so far were mixed, with more residents in the blocks where the lift lobbies are painted in red providing negative feedback (the blocks with lift lobbies painted in purplish blue hue have not been handed over). [Telegram](https://t.me/mothershipsg) to get the latest updates. In response to Mothership's queries, HDB said residents gave feedback that the colour of the lift lobbies was painted "too strong".

He also noted that many have showed up to take photos, but urged members of the public to be considerate to the privacy of residents living in the estate.
