MTA and advertising partners are adding some color to a subway station in Manhattan.
CBS Outdoor set up a "virtual retail" pilot program with L'Oreal Paris near the 5th Avenue entrance of the Bryant Park-42nd Street station.
Project representatives say the interactive display "detects colors in an outfit, picks out the most prominent and related color palettes, then recommends L'Oréal Products to match."
Customers can buy products immediately at the display.
The MTA says it will "evaluate whether it can be replicated and scaled up as a new form of commerce that could enliven subway stations and generate rental revenue to help support mass transit."
The MTA has been reviewing the potential of empty spaces within the system. UNIQLO, a clothing retailer, opened what is described as the MTA's first "pop-up store" last month in Union Square. A pilot program for this concept was tested with an independent media seller at the Lorimer St/Metropolitan Av station in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in July.
"Pop-up stores will provide a fresh and beneficial element to our stations while also improving the image and desirability of retail space in the subway," said MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast. "This is another example of the MTA working to make better use of its real estate portfolio and improving the subway environment for customers at the same time."
Advertising revenues alone have generated more than $125 million dollars a year recently for the agency.
In other news from PIX11's Greg Mocker, FASTRACK work begins tonight and runs this week on the D line in the Bronx.

Car-related legal settlements are arrangements for compensation of damages suffered by a party due to an automotive accident, manufacturing defect or other issue. Most settlements result in compensation in the form of money. While the majority of settlements occur between parties involved in automobile accidents, settlements resulting from legal actions against vehicle manufacturers by individuals or aggrieved classes are also common.Continue Reading
Damages from automobiles that may be compensated through a legal settlement can encompass physical and mental harm as well as financial losses. Legal settlements from cases involving automobiles may be imposed by court order after a full trial or may be negotiated settlements agreed on by all the parties involved in the dispute; the latter case is common in situations where the parties seek to avoid a trial due to the expense and length of court proceedings or the potential for additional losses from a judgment.
While accidents are the most common reason for legal action, negligence or false claims by a vehicle manufacturer may also lead to a settlement. For example, owners of certain Hyundai vehicles built between 2011 and 2013 reached a settlement with the company to defray fuel costs for those vehicles, as the actual fuel economy those drivers achieved with their vehicles was substantially lower than Hyundai's claimed fuel economy figures.Learn more about Driving Laws

WASHINGTON — ''Yamani or Ya Life'' was the headline here four years ago, when OPEC's most powerful oil sheik could dictate the new administration's Middle East arms policy.
Now the wheel of oil fortune has turned. Sheik Yamani, whose Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries helped inflict inflation on the world, is scrambling to find a new price floor to keep the law of supply and demand from lashing back at him.
