They were established by General John Lejune on April 18, 1925 Marine Corps Order No. 4 of 18 April 1925 designated gold and scarlet as the official colors of the U.S. Marine Corps. These colors, however, were not reflected in the official Marine Corps standard until 18 January 1939, when a new design incorporating the new colors was approved.

Henderson Hall, Marine Barracks were spaired and I believe that was because the British were going to establish their headquarters there.

Marine Barracks, Washington (commonly known to Marines as "8th and I")
is located in Southeast Washington on a quadrangle of land situated between
8th and 9th Streets and "G" and "I" Streets. Within the confines of Marine
Barracks stands the Commandant's House, the official residence of all but the
first two Commandants who have headed the Marine Corps during its long
history.
The Commandant's House is supposed to be the oldest public building in
continuous use in the Nation's Capital. It owes its claim as the oldest
building to the fact that the British failed to destroy it during their raid
on Washington in August 1814. They burned the Capitol, the White House, and
most of the other public buildings in retaliation for a similar American raid
on Toronto the previous summer. This rather conspicuous omission gave rise to
speculation which later attained the status of legend.
The favorite theory for this fact is that the magnificent stand of the
Marines during the fighting at Bladensburg so impressed General Ross that he
ordered the House and Barracks left untouched as a gesture of soldierly
respect.
