"School Bus Glossy Yellow" is the New Yellow

Slow day in committee? Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, yesterday proposed a colorful bill that would change Idaho's guidelines for school bus colors to match the federal standard.

Idaho's current required color is "School Bus Chrome," while the federal standard is No. 595a, Color 13432, better known as "School Bus Glossy Yellow." Well duh, of course it is.

Apparently choosing school bus colors isn't as easy as you think and goes back many years.
