Odisha Announces New Colour Code for Government Buildings Across State

Bhubaneswar: In a bid to revamp the state’s visual identity, the Odisha government has announced plans to paint all government buildings across the state in a uniform colour. The new colour code will see government buildings sporting a vibrant orange exterior with a red border.

The decision was communicated by the Works Department in letters sent to all engineers-in-chief and the engineer-in-chief-cum-MD of the Odisha Building Construction Corporation (OBCC).

The department directed officials to implement the uniform color scheme for both new and existing government buildings during future repair or renovation work.

The specified colour code is as follows:

Exterior walls: Orange shade (RGB mix: 254, 190, 152)

Border: Red shade (RGB mix: 177, 85, 79)

This move comes on the heels of the government’s recent decision to change the uniform colours of Class IX and X students in government and aided schools.
