International Orange and Mustard Yellow

View from the Battery Spencer Overlook almost 500 feet above the bay. Naturally, I had run out of color film, so it was down to ye olde iPhone 8 to do the job. According to goldengate.org "Consulting Architect Irving Morrow selected the distinctive orange color because it blends well with the span's natural setting as it is a warm color consistent with the warm colors of the land masses in the setting as distinct from the cool colors of the sky and sea. It also provides enhanced visibility for passing ships. If the U.S. Navy had its way, the Bridge might have been painted black with yellow stripes to assure even greater visibility for passing ships." Regardless of the color, the bridge is a great and graceful example of civil engineering. June 2023.
