One of the most striking features of a traditionally decorated narrow boat is the use of vibrant colours, carefully contrasted in tone and applied in multiple layers of increasing complexity. The origins of these colourful designs are uncertain. They may have been inspired by sea-going ships, boats, road vehicles, and farm carts or simply drawn from the common symbols and decorations of the time.
