The blue hotel
by stephen crane

position against any background. the palace hotel, then, was always screaming and howing in a way that made the dazzling winter landscape of
nebraska seem only a gray hush. it stood alone on the prairie, when the snow was falling the town two hundred yards away was not visible. but
when the traveler alighted at the railway station, he had to pass the palace hotel before he could come upon the low, capboard houses which made
up fort romper, it was not to be thought that any traveler could pass the palace hotel without looking at it pat scully, the owner, had proved himself

B
Explanation:
The light blue color of the hotel is described in the passage as being the type of light blue that stands out anywhere. Because the hotel stood alone not far from the rest of the smaller more nondescript buildings of the town, it made an even greater impression on the travellers.
The strategic combination of the location of the hotel and the winter scenery would not have been sufficient without the huge added bonuses the hotel's strikingly captivating color scheme.
