As if I don't get enough of gray all winter, I'm planning to paint my house this spring and have picked out a color called 'Manatee Gray.' I'm rethinking my choice now though, since I learned from the Washington State Department of Transportation of a color called 'Washington Gray.' Little did I know, but concrete comes in all colors, so when a bridge or other infrastructure item is complete, it's usually painted Washington Grey, but sometimes Mt. St. Helens Gray or Cascade Green, if the department is feeling really crazy.So why paint a giant structure? The WSDOT blog has the answer.

I do love Grey. All shades, it's the Washington Rainbow.
I heard yellow houses get the best and quickest sale prices. I never thought I liked yellow much until I noticed how sun-shiny it looks. Flowers look really nice against a yellow house, too. Not lemon yellow, but a light yellow.
Yep, this is still a transportation blog. Just in case no one noticed :)
Man. OK. So I should have added the, "although I wouldn't recommend yellow for an overpass."
Because it just wouldn't look right.
