Queen Elizabeth II pillarbox in Keyston Road, Cardiff
Near the corner of Waterhall Road. Wikipedia states that there was no standard pillarbox colour until 1859, when bronze green became standard. That colour was chosen because it was thought that it would be unobtrusive. Too unobtrusive, as it turned out: people kept walking into them. Red became the standard colour in 1874, although ten more years elapsed before every box in the UK had been repainted.
This shade of red is now so familiar that it has an entry in Chambers Dictionary:
pillar-box red (noun) the traditional bright-red colour of British pillar boxes (also adjective).
