So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

Brutality architecture, done well, already looks amazing!

That said, yes, their tendency towards large unbroken planes of material make them prime candidates for murals, and you see a lot of that in places like Chicago that had a big Brutalist phase.

I feel like most brutalist buildings are designed by a committee. They want the building to look like it provided maximal value for money, so they try to avoid looking good.
