#57 September 20: I once described some really ugly carpet I “inherited” in a house we bought as “school bus yellow”. Little did I know that this color has a rich history. In 1939, school transportation officials met at Columbia University and picked Color 13432 or “School Bus Glossy Yellow” out of 50 shades of yellow and orange to be the standard for buses all over the country. They had 2 goals: to make them stand out and be safer and to standardize the buses to make them cheaper to mass produce. Our own High Point NC Thomas Built Buses is the nation's largest school bus manufacturer, churning out as many as 16,000 buses per year for over 100 years. 9/18
