According to Irving F. Morrow, architect,'Throughout a considerable portion of the year, high fogs render the light of San Francisco colorless or gray. Even in full sunshine the characteristic atmospheric effects are blue rather than warm. Local architecture has consistently evaded the implications of this situation by remaining itself colorless. Our conception is a full polychrome, increasing in richness by successive steps as it focuses upon the bridge, culminating in the final monumental pylons in pure metallic gold--veritably, as well as symbolically, the Golden Gate."
