Even though it’s made of Texas Red Granite, it looks orange to me

The 1885 Renaissance Revival-Style Texas State Capitol building is made from Texas Red Granite. It is such a beautiful building, the interior is Texas Limestone and the roof is copper. To me it looked orange the grey overcast day I was there, so it’s orange for my rainbow today.

If you half close your eyes with this colour and it becomes tan and brown to me! It will last forever being granite!
