Certainly no one in a favela will pay to upkeep (garish) Promethean art that they have had foisted upon them. For something more organic look towards the pastels of Salvador de Bahia.

But I wonder how many brightly and happily painted concrete housing projects I’ve seen around europe where the colours just seem to accentuate the misery of he area, like scornful laughter.
