I can’t remember why I took this photo, but I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out what kind of business it stands in front of.
Signs: And this business is?

Ruby wine
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Color Challenge: Ruby wine.’ See more responses here. Terri described ruby wine as ‘burgundy-brownish’ and included a handy color match, which I’ve made use of here.
The top photo shows exterior of the Pu’uanahulu Baptist Church. The second photo features a fire extinguisher on a colorful wall. I liked the reflections in glass of the cabinet. The bottom photo features another church, this time the interior of the Painted Church south of Captain Cook.
Chaba’s Joy Cafe
Chaba’s Joy Cafe is one of several tenants of a very colorful building in downtown Kapaau.

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue
L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant anchors the brightly painted Kohala Town Center in Kapaau. At night it’s equally bright, but in a slightly different way.
Rainbow blue
This is the sixth of my rainbow colors in response to Becky’s April Squares challenge theme of ‘Bright.’ (See more responses here.)
Today’s rainbow arches above Lapakahi State Historical Park in North Kohala. Lapakahi was an old Hawaiian fishing village and the ruins give some insight into the life and culture of those people.
Second is a blue offering hanging outside the predominantly red and green Old Hawaiian Trading Company in Kapaau.
Third is all that’s left of the Bank of Hawaii in Kapaau. The bank used to occupy the whole building, but it’s now used as a senior center.
Rainbow green
Number four of my rainbow colors in response to Becky’s April Squares challenge theme of ‘Bright.’ (See more responses here.)
This rainbow soared over the tsunami siren above Kapaa Park on the Kohala coast. I found the stray float catching the sunlight as it drifted in the water. The buildings of the Kohala Town Center in Kapaau are painted in very bright colors, including this vibrant green railing.
Two windows
The wall of the Ackerman Gallery building in Kapaau makes a bold statement.

Rainbow yellow
The third of my rainbow colors in response to Becky’s April Squares challenge theme of ‘Bright.’ (See more responses here.)
Today’s rainbow was taken from Kohala Mountain Road and looks down towards the southern edge of Waimea.
In the middle, a bright yellow saffron finch perches on a bare branch of a plumeria. There were zero leaves on this tree and only a few budding flowers, such as the one next to the finch.
And finally, the yellow robe of the painted statue of King Kamehameha I in Kapaau.
