That there Red River out in cotton-growing Central and West Texas runs “Longhorn Red”. UT school colors.
The color was developed to duplicate the iron rich soil of the region.
This time of year, I kinda miss seeing those huge open fields of perfectly straight plow furrows.
I “had” a photo of a classic West Texas dust storm that hit us in Midland. Taken from a weather plane (Piper?) above and in front of the advancing wall of dust. Spectacular “burnt umber” red.

amazing.
some of the big storm fronts moving through texas and oklahoma will carry that “red rain” up to northwest arkansas/southwest missouri.
get up the next day & find your car covered with red mud splots
