It turns out even a kaleidoscope can come with a markdown.
Apryl Miller's technicolor Upper East Side apartment — an exuberant swirl of painted floors, bright tiles, geometric mosaics and custom Lucite-legged kitchen furniture — is back on the market with a new, lower price, The Post has learned.
Now asking $6.75 million, the full-floor residence at 188 E. 76th St. was first listed last year for $8.75 million, before undergoing a recent $2 million price reduction, StreetEasy records show.
Miller — an artist, poet and jewelry designer — purchased the 4,076-square-foot condo, spanning the entire 29th floor of the Siena tower, in 1998 with her former husband.

She later took full ownership in 2002 and spent the following decades transforming the space into what she has described as a 'very special home' for her daughters.
'Color is rejuvenating, and colors have souls,' Miller previously told the New York Times in an interview when the property was first listed. 'I didn't want white walls.'
The result is more art installation than apartment.
Every room is doused in saturated tones and custom finishes, from Jackson Pollock-style paint-splattered floors to vibrant tile work and swirls of inlaid carpet.
Over the years, the apartment has been featured in the Netflix documentary series 'Amazing Interiors,' MTV's 'Teen Cribs,' 'Open House New York' tours and numerous design publications.

But the creative haven has outgrown its purpose.
With her daughters now adults, Miller says the apartment, once bursting with art projects and floor picnics, is simply 'too big.'
'I always knew I couldn't keep it forever,' she told the outlet. 'It's an art installation. Art doesn't last forever.'
Offered for the first time in 25 years, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence includes a private elevator landing, oversize windows, and panoramic views from Central Park to the East River.
A 28-foot living room connects to a dining space and a library/media room, while a cerulean blue eat-in kitchen features geometric floors and a custom table designed with her children in mind.

9 Spanning 4,076 square feet, the five-bedroom residence occupies the entire 29th floor of the Siena condominium and is defined by its riot of color — paint-splattered floors, hand-cut tiles, geometric inlays and Lucite-legged kitchen furniture — designed for her daughters.

'My girls liked being underneath the table with their little toys,' Miller said of the Lucite-leg design.
The primary bedroom suite is similarly dramatic, with two walk-in closets, a raised sitting area and a hand-tiled bath with skyline views. One of the additional bedrooms, once used as a stage for in-home concerts, is now an artist's studio.
The apartment also once featured an installation known as the 'chair museum,' made up of Miller's sculptural furniture.
'Each one of the pieces tells a different story,' she told the Times, referencing the garments and textures that inspired them.
9 She purchased the apartment in 1998 with her former husband and raised her two daughters there, hosting 'floor picnics,' holiday parties and impromptu performances on a small stage built into one of the bedrooms.

Listing agents Eileen Foy and Ana Ozashvili of Compass are marketing the property, which occupies a rare full-floor layout in the Siena, a full-service white-glove condominium with a gym, a playroom, a furnished terrace and a 24-hour doorman.
They did not return The Post's request for comment.
The building is one of the few condos west of Third Avenue in Lenox Hill.
Despite the price drop, the furnishings and art are not included — but are available for purchase separately. And while the next owner may not embrace the same Crayola-happy aesthetic, Miller says she's made her peace with that.
'I'm OK with having the whole place gutted,' she said. 'I know I'll be really sad when it's actually sold. I'll cry later.'
