Why Red Is the Worst Color for Your Ambulance

Red is historically the color of choice for U.S. fire trucks and many ambulances so much so that there’s even a popular color known as “fire engine red.” Yet red is arguably the worst choice when it comes to making emergency vehicles visible to passing motorists because “the human eye is red-blind at night,” says Stephen Solomon, OD, licensed optometrist and veteran volunteer firefighter. Adding black chevrons and trim to the red doesn’t help the situation. “In fact, you cannot camouflage a vehicle better than to paint it red and black,” says Solomon, an expert in emergency vehicle visibility. “Red and black is completely absorbed into the background due to the way people see it, so you’ve made the vehicle practically invisible.”
