    Happy College Colors Day, Longhorn Nation! 馃А Ever wondered how burnt orange became the color of Texas? UT鈥檚 colors have a surprisingly winding history, from a last-minute ribbon run in 1885 to the exact shade of Pantone 159 today. Learn more about the story behind burnt
    A massive crowd of people, predominantly wearing orange, cheer enthusiastically in a stadium. Many are raising their hands to form the \"Hook 'em Horns\" gesture, creating a sea of orange and hands. Some shirts feature the word \"TEXAS.\"
    A large, tan brick building with ornate architectural details, including arched windows on the lower levels and rectangular windows above. Green trees frame the building on both sides, with sunlight casting shadows on its facade.

    The Forty Acres is ready for College Colors Day. 馃А Longhorn Nation, show us your best burnt orange tomorrow! 馃
    Fair-skinned woman with blonde hair and dark-skinned man with curly hair and glasses sit on a bench, smiling and talking. She holds a textbook, he holds a tablet and wears an orange \"TEXAS\" shirt. Desaturated modern outdoor background.
    A white slatted fence displays bold orange text: 'BE A LONGHORN'. The rest of the scene is grayscale, including a building facade, an overhead structure, dark tree foliage at the top, and spiky plants on concrete ground with metal handrails.
    A person with a backpack walks toward a building with an orange banner that reads \"TEXAS WHAT STARTS HERE CHANGES THE WORLD\". The person and building are in black and white, while the banner is in color. Doors read \"William C. Powers, Jr. Student Activity Center (WCP)\".
    A light tiled wall with dark gray and black rectangular bars radiating outwards, forming a circle. One bar at the top-left is distinctly bright orange, standing out against the monochrome.
