While the U.S. Navy originally wanted the bridge painted with black and yellow stripes for visibility in the fog, Morrow chose &#8220;International Orange&#8221; because it complemented the natural surroundings and made the bridge more visible to passing ships in the Bay&#8217;s thick fog.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Q3.
