This color is PANTONE 187. Sometimes “Red”, sometimes “University Red”, but in most cases I’ve seen it, “CORNELL RED”.

The big project for my department (and the entire Medical College) at the end of 2006 was the launch of our new clinical care building at 1305 York Avenue. For much of the length of the project, those of us in the IT shop simply referred to it by the most appropriate acronym: it was the new York Avenue Building, so it became YAB.
But eventually, the building was given a more donor-friendly name, and it became the Weill Greenberg Center. The appropriate acronym became WGC.
I refer to it now, as I did then, as “YAB”. Sometimes “1305”. But never “WGC”.
“WGC” still only means one thing to me: Wet Garlic and Cheese.
