Wow. I was pondering this exact thing when I was thinking about the scourge of ugly graffiti tagging where I live. Sample the wall color and cover it instantly.

That is ineffective at stopping ugly graffiti, especially tagging.
There is an honor system at play: pieces over throwups over tags.
Anyone tagging on someone else’s piece is ridiculed in the community, and serious graffiti writers will start seeking and painting over their tags.
The solution is not to provide another empty canvas, the solution is to get someone famous in the circles to paint a huge mural.
