Post Box

London Post Box. It's not often known that when they first introduced they were dark green, but they were hard to find, so they painted them red.

Oh I see. Malaysia being a British colony before, still do have some of these Red Letter Boxes. Modern one has become squarish.

That is certainly a bold, bright red. Thanks for the info about post boxes originally being green.
