So really, what is the color of the Golden Gate Bridge? It's that thing poking out of the fog. You were wondering. I know you were.
Well thanks in part to NPR we all now know it's called International Orange. That translates to PMS #173 or 0% cyan, 100% yellow, 69% magenta and 6% black at the paint store - just in case you want to paint an accent wall at home.
