The Booth study resulted in, amongst other things, colour-coded maps of London ranging from yellow to black, with blues, pinks and reds in-between. These colours represented the income and social positioning of the city’s inhabitants, from the lowest class, controversially categorised as the ‘Vicious, semi-criminal poor’ to the less harshly judged ‘Upper-middle and upper classes. Wealthy.’
