I've never explicitly noted the colors of 

streetlights

like Jack, but I have had many inspirations because of different streetlight colors.

One of the snippets I shared in our old 

Writing Club

was inspired solely by the way the orange, tall street lights looked in one particular road connecting 

Lansing

and 

East Lansing

... I tried to create a scene where the college kids are heading back after a big meal at a 

diner

-- inspired by 

Fleetwood Diner

in Lansing -- where I wanted to recreate the emotion of having feelings while driving back under those orange lights in the middle of the night.

there's much variation possible there. It can be a drive alone, or a van packed with people. The music might be on... and if it is it can be any diffrernt type of tune... like wise if the music's off then the characters might be listening to something else. Their engine? their AC or the window is open and there is the sound of nature or urban ecology.

It's a scene I could write 1000s of snippets for 

haha I remember that. It was woman in a 

diner

 

by the way if you are writing about something you will reference a lot and want to be able to link back to it in the future you should try using the hotkey [[ 

just like you can @username you can use [[ to create a topic. You'll see that I have hotkeyd diner in this comment.
