Red.

Same dilemma as my 930: is it blue, or is it grey?

Which helps to explain why my Carousel Red GTO is exactly the same color as my buddy's Hugger Orange Camaro.

Hate to admit that Chevy got it right and Pontiac got it wrong, but there's no way that Goat ain't orange!

Poppy Red. I owned one of these, wasn't a GT, but was a K Code.

Definitely orange.

Looks like Guards Red to me. ��

the bridge would look better if it was a rich purplish Burgundy

A bridge that picks up on it's surroundings is a beautiful thing.

Nice color in full sun, but would tend to look like black on foggy days I would think.

^^^ The Mighty Mac is truly a sight to behold.
Makes that bridge in CA look wimpy. :D

Both are cool, and that shade of orange in Michigan would make for some great fall color pictures.

The other large suspension bridge in state was in black paint for far too long, God was it ugly then.

Much better now.

I remember reading that it was called International Safety Orange

GG Bridge is orange.

Wow

I remember Herb Caen commenting a long time ago about the Golden Gate Bridge getting primered in silver when getting repainted, and the Bay Bridge getting primered in orange when it was getting repainted. I think parts of each bridge was almost always being repainted as part of their maintenance.

On the Golden Gate Bridge website it says:

The color dubbed “International Orange” existed before the Bridge (and still exists) and is a color used in the aerospace industry to set things apart from their surroundings, similar to safety orange, but deeper and with a more reddish tone. You can see this, the “other” International Orange color here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_orange. The Golden Gate Bridge is painted Golden Gate Bridge International Orange which was selected by Consulting Architect Irving F. Morrow.

Phoenix Red is not red either.

They are constantly painting the GG Bridge. Go from one end to the other the start over
