That looks spectacular.  Most of the general public thinks towers are red and white. The actual requirement is Aviation Orange and White. I'm a retired career broadcaster and can recall when one of my owners had to paint a tower twice. They ordered and got red and white and then were cited for incorrect marking and had to buy a do-over.  That said, model towers almost always seem to be red and white. http://sbjohnson.com/2020/07/3...enna-tower-painting/

Nice catch John,   I grew up in a dinky town... Forest Dale, Vermont (pop. maybe 300).  There were 2 tower companies in the town Racine Towers & Prescott Towers.  Racine built one of the early Apollo launch pads in the mid sixties.  They both primarily built aviation towers all over the country and had maintenance contracts as well.   Prescott's sign's on their trucks said  Prescott Towers "We Specialize in Erections".  So yes, Orange and White are correct.
