Silos, Space Shuttles, and Swatches

I tend to carry a digital camera everywhere. My wife and I were driving home the other day, when a van with an interesting logo sped past. You can imagine me pulling my camera out of the bag, while motioning to my wife to catch up to said van. We were pulling 65+ in a 55, and this van was already 10 car lengths ahead, so we gave up on the snapshot. I did manage to write down the company name, (not to turn in the driver) but to do a bit of research. Here's what I found:

Iowa Paint has supplied paint and coatings for projects ranging from U.S. missile silos and rockets during the 1960s to the space shuttle during the 1980s. It was also a supplier of coatings to locks and dams operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

So what color is your silo?
