Maybe it’s a nitpick, but it’s annoying having to get on road just to walk pass it.

You said there’s yellow, there is absolutely none in the image, can you provide an image so we can see what you think you see? Funny you resort to insults instead of providing an image to show what you’re taking about.
The materials for the sidewalk and road are identical, not even close to yellow, I provided an image as proof and to show you what I see.
This is a different color. It's a similar brick but rotated 90° from the road and clearly not the same color...
The other photo also had different color brick for the walk path compared to the road. You may genuinely be color blind, friend.
It is a very slightly different color, but definitely hard to make out in the original image due to the line of shade coinciding with the colour shift + being from further away. Definitely wouldn't blame a small-screen user for not noticing a difference between those two.
That’s not yellow for one thing…. The road already has multiple shades already. You expect someone to think a fourth shade should be different?
That’s not a different colour, just a different shade.
They say the colour difference makes it obvious, how can it when there’s already multiple in roadway? It could if you ignore the other details around.
You strike me as the kinda guy who can't admit when they're wrong and just move on. I'm gonna block you because your not worth the time.
The fact that the sidewalk's pavers are rotated 90° compared to those in both the parking lot aisle and (more importantly) the parking space to the right is also enough to prove the designer's intent, even disregarding the color difference entirely.
I totally agree that said designer shouldn't have let aesthetics come at the cost of accessibility, though.
I didn't even notice the paver direction. That's pretty subtle for a safety feature!
See a doctor and check for colour blindness. Seriously. It's obviously a different colour.
Bro it is like not even close to being the same color. One is grey and the other is yellow, very very clearly even on my 5 inch phone screen

Here You go. You can see the curbs, side walks and colours. It's faded, because it's old, but it's visible.
@hOrni@lemmy.world, be nicer. This is a warning.
@plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works... I hate to say it, but he's not wrong to question your screen and/or vision. The difference in color is subtle, but it's there. I wouldn't necessarily call it "yellow;" more like a beige/tan for the walkway vs. gray for the parking lot. At any rate, it's enough to be clear (to me, at least) that it was intended to be a contrasting color.
Here's what I ended up with when I used GIMP's eyedropper tool on the two areas:
It turns out it's in Poland, where I'm from. I'm used to seeing these types of sidewalks and know that they are yellow when new. This one is just faded.
