Teleport to the western teleport waypoint in Easybreeze Market and head southeast to find an NPC muttering "No vandalization..." while staring at the wall. Interact with the nearby Asha spiritiscone at the entrance of the store and use its skill to paint the wall. This will trigger a cutscene and start the Traces of Chroma quest in Genshin Impact.

Go to the cafe and give the cafe some color

Once the cutscene ends, follow the quest navigation and go to the cafe to find two NPCs talking to each other. This will trigger another cutscene and give you the following objectives:

• Decorate the walls of the cafe with yellow.
• Decorate the awnings and parasols with any color.

Since you can decorate the awnings and parasols with any color, you can just use yellow for everything. Paint all the white sections of the wall to complete the objective. Once done, you will get an Exquisite Chest. After talking to Cozatl, advance the in-game time to anywhere between 8 am and 12 pm of the next day.
