big orange...

[donsargegolf]

someone once asked on this site for the official color of our beloved Vols, it is Orange 151. Now available at Home Depot.

You can get it at Home Depot? Perfect! I'll have to get some next time I'm back home and bring it back up north.

[volsicle]

[vols2345]

we then im doing it. but i better buy paint stripper or he might kill me. im not that mean.

 

[volsicle]

lol aww that's great that you'd think of doing all that....of course the dog might love the new color enough to get to keep it

 

[vols2345]

i dont know. i dont think his dog has enough clss to respect the color of the BIG ORANGE.

 

[volsicle]

lol i was holding hope that at least something in the house would have enough sense and class to respect Big Orange...but then again...I might be suffering from a frozen brain and therefore no longer thinking right or even thinking at all

I have a Tennessee pullover and im a big guy (6'5 260) and my friend told me I look like a giant traffic cop. But of course he's a FSU fan. Another friend thinks I look like im hunting. I just think I look freakin sexy in bright orange. :rocks: :dlol:

 

[vols2345]

but doesnt everyone go up at least 3 notches on the sexy meter when they put on the tennessee orange?

 

[volsicle]

i think it works something like that vols
TNFan you can't look like a giant traffic cop in a pullover...hunting perhaps, but the orange is all wrong for that.
When I wore a UT shirt up here the first time, a girl asked me why I would want to wear construction worker orange...lol...they have no idea

Donsargegolf, you wouldn't by any chance know the hexadecimal code for that color would you?

For web pages and stuff?

hexadecimal code

:blink:

There's a term I've never heard . . . what the heck is that?

 

[LadyinOrange]

Every color has a hexadecimal (hex) code to use in HTML.

See this...

Do you see UT orange on this page?

I wish I hadn't clicked on that link . . . I now have a headache. That is like finding a needle in a haystack.

 

[LadyinOrange]

I'm sorry.

 

[vols2345]

i know what you mean, i tried to find the color but after a while all the color started to look the same.

 

[GAVol]

If you've ever been to a Tennessee game, you know that no 2 fans are wearing the same shade anyway.

 

[LadyinOrange]

That's true, BUT every true fan recognizes the REAL UT orange when they see it.

 

[OWB]

That is the truth and when it rains and the ponchos come out, then it really gets bad!
