The myth still persists that these buildings  on the Stockwell Road were painted red for Blowup, but they weren't. This was a patch of colour appropriated for the film, found there and not manipulated, as was also the blue-painted building shown immediately after, on the corner of Woolwich Road and Tamar Street, S.E.7:
