Explanation:

Pat Scully in the short story titled, The Blue Hotel by Stephen Crane painted his hotel (the Palace hotel) blue so that it might stand out from its surroundings and therefore catch the eye of prospective customers.

This would draw the prospective customers in and increase the likelihood that they would patronize Scully and make him more money.
