I've featured Chicago nanny and secret photographer Vivian Maier a few times - here, for instance, here, and here - but always in black and white. She did dabble in colour photography though, later on, and there's a gallery of some of her work here, on the occasion of a forthcoming exhibition, Vivian Maier: The Color Work, in New York. I've added some more from the website devoted to her work, run by John Maloof:

I am, I'll admit, particularly taken with those fabulous yellow shorts.
Nice to see her enjoyment of colour. A bit of a Martin Parr precursor.

It’s the fact that he picked out socks to match his shorts that caught my eye.

Both of them! And the woman's skirt.
