A small but interesting detail: It appears that the actual IU colors are crimson and cream, not gray, so apparently this is not entirely correct. The passenger equipment ran long before the internet, yet used a gray color. This from a IU website:

On the web, we substitute gray for the cream in our primary colors (cream and crimson). This is because cream doesn’t reproduce well in online environments."
