Colombo is a city of contrasts where beauty and chaos coexist in a colourful harmony. "Colours of Colombo" is an attempt to find the magic in the mundane moments of everyday Colombo; through cultures, communities and the constantly changing urban landscape, paying homage to a city, and to all those who live in it and call it home.
