The Golden Gate Bridge is the most famous landmark of the city, a symbol of San Francisco and the entire Pacific coast of the United States. Until 1964, the Golden Gate Bridge was the largest suspension bridge in the world and got its name because it spans the strait of the same name. After the construction of this bridge, the US Navy, which then monitored the waterways, wanted to paint it black and yellow for maximum visibility, but when the bridge was installed in the 1930s, the steel used to build it was a reddish color. for lead, and the team of architects who designed the bridge liked the way the color looked against the landscape. They mixed paints and painted the bridge a color called "International Orange", which is very similar to the color of red lead.
