When the University of California was deciding its colors in the 1860s-70s, it was decided that gold would represent the state's principal natural resource and blue would honor Yale, the alma mater of most of the new university's founders.

Sweet! Even the California Governor's (Arnold's) flag is on a Yale Blue field. But was Yale blue chosen after Oxford blue? Cuz whether I'm in Oxford or Cali, I feel right at home with the university colors.
