Let me introduce you to Tirana, Albania which has done exactly as you suggest! They elected a former painter as mayor in 2000, and the rest is history. So many of the brutalist buildings in the city are now covered with bright colors, murals, patterns, and more. You can check out some before and after images here: https://blog.ted.com/9-views-of-tirana-albania-with-its-bright-multicolored-building/
Lol.

As an artist myself, I like this guy.
I should have linked that too, but yes, he’s great!!
I really like the solid color, the rainbow, and the checkerboard. The ones with the lines/patterns are somehow significantly worse to me
If you image search it you will find all kinds of cool stuff! Even better if you get a chance to wander around Tirana and find hidden ones!
