Video Overview

Script: Why isn't the Eiffel Tower just gray? Well, it all started in 1889. Gustave Eiffel wanted his tower to stand out, so he chose a color called "Venetian red." Over time, it transitioned through shades like yellow-brown and chestnut brown. But here's the twist: today, it's painted in a unique shade called "Eiffel Tower Brown," designed to harmonize with Paris's skyline. The paint job requires 60 tons of paint every seven years! This color journey isn't just aesthetic; it’s a nod to the tower's ever-evolving identity.
