Color of the golden gate bridge?

The Golden Gate Bridge's official color is International Orange. During it's construction, there was much debate about what color the bridge would be painted on completion. Some people simply liked gray or black. The Navy disagreed because it would blend in with San Francisco's heavy fog therefore making it easier for ships to crash into it. The Navy suggested that it be painted with Black and yellow stripes so that it could be seen easier! Eventually, people noticed how the steel on the bridge rusted, forming an orange red color. The Navy accepted this because it was still easy to spot on foggy days. And so International Orange was chosen for the bridges color!
