However, tourists and local residents said the bright yellow was too gaudy and unsuitable for the 130-year building.
After trying many colors, a special council approved the official paint color, a light yellow, in early February.
The building’s new coat of paint will be completed in early April.
The building, at 2 Paris Commune in District 1, was built in 1886 by the French colonial government and, along with the Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon Tax Centre, is considered a symbol of HCM City, making it a popular destination for foreign tourists and attracting thousands of visitors a day.
