In 1634 Cura&ccedil;ao was occupied by the Dutch, who founded the port city of Willemstad.<br>\nFor more than two centuries, the port became a major trading hub for the slave trade. Today, the island&rsquo;s economy is mainly based on oil refineries and tourism. With just over 100,000 inhabitants, Willemstad is the capital. Its historic centre, which includes the districts of Punda and Otrobanda, was declared a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong> in 1997 because of its historic buildings and architecture where <strong>Dutch and Spanish influences mingle with Caribbean, African and South American influences<\/strong>.<br>\nWhat attracts many tourists from all over the world every year, in addition to the natural wonders, are the colourful houses and buildings, which can be found all over the island but especially in Willemstad and its two historic quarters.<\/p>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><div

originated just over two centuries ago. The reason has a name and a surname: <strong>Albert Kikkert<\/strong>.<br>\nA former Dutch military commander, Kikkert was appointed governor of the island in 1816. Among the many laws he enacted, one concerned buildings, which at the time were mainly painted white. Realising that many of Cura&ccedil;ao&rsquo;s inhabitants suffered from eye and vision <strong>problems<\/strong>, Kikkert thought to solve the problem <strong>by removing the white from the outer walls of the houses<\/strong>, which became blinding in the Caribbean sun. In 1817, he ordered that all buildings had to be repainted in <strong>pastel colours<\/strong>.<br>\nThe law remained in force until the early 1900s. Today, there is no longer an obligation, but by tradition, people continue to paint them in many colours, though no longer just pastel. One sort of legend has it that, rather than concern for the ocular health of the inhabitants, it was the<strong>migraine<\/strong> Kikkert suffered from that prompted him to have the houses coloured. Another, more mischievous version claims that the governor had a certain <strong>financial interest in<\/strong> doing so. In fact, he would have been one of the major shareholders in the only company on the island that produced paint!  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"la-palette-cromatica-di-willemstad\" class=\"anchor\">Willemstad &lsquo;s colour palette<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vernicirioverde.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/willemstad_citta_a_colori_4.jpeg\" alt=\"Colour palette inspired by the buildings of Willemstad on the island of Cura&ccedil;ao\" width=\"961\" height=\"625\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65423\"><\/p>\n<p>Strolling through the streets of Willemstad, it is impossible not to notice how the colours of the buildings evoke a refined and nostalgic palette, similar &ndash; in terms of the softer shades &ndash; to that proposed by Rio Verde&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vernicirioverde.it\/vernice-per-legno-prodotti\/vernice-per-effetti-materici-rbxx90\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Vintage Prestige<\/strong><\/a> line.
