This was also planned for the Constellation Space Suit systems that were to be flight-ready by 2015.

The international orange paint used on the Golden Gate Bridge is specially formulated to protect the bridge from the danger of rust from salt spray off the ocean, and from the moisture of the San Francisco fog that frequently rolls in from the Pacific Ocean through the Golden Gate to San Francisco Bay.^[citation needed] The 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon, Portugal also uses this color.^[3] * The Golden Gate Bridge The Golden Gate Bridge * The 25 de Abril Bridge The 25 de Abril Bridge Engineering[edit] International Orange (Engineering) About these coordinates Color coordinates Hex triplet #BA160C sRGB^B (r, g, b) (186, 22, 12) HSV (h, s, v) (3deg, 94%, 73%) CIELCh[uv] (L, C, h) (40, 124, 13deg) Source FedStd 595 ISCC-NBS descriptor Vivid red B: Normalized to [0-255] (byte) The adjacent box displays the generic tone of international orange used by military contractors and in engineering generally. The source of this color is Federal Standard 595, a U.S. federal government standard set up in 1956 for paint colors which is mostly used by military contractors and also in engineering. International Orange is designated as Federal Standard 595 color #FS 12197. In accordance with air safety regulations, some tall towers, e.g. Tokyo Tower and the Yerevan TV Tower, are painted in white and international orange.^[4] * Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, Japan Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, Japan * Antenna atop the Main Tower in Frankfurt, Germany Antenna atop the Main Tower in Frankfurt, Germany Sports[edit] The World Football League used international orange (instead of the traditional white) for the stripes on their footballs. The league also painted a short international orange mark on the field at the two-yard line. Trucking[edit] Schneider National paints its trucks/tractors/trailers "international safety orange" (Omaha orange, PMS 165).
