Fire Engine Yellow



What is the first color that comes to mind when you imagine a fire engine?  RED of course.  The color red and fire engines are such a synonymous pair that one would never think them apart.  This too is what I believed until I moved to Hawaii.



Since Hawaii is such a lush paradise with plenty of tropical foliage, Hawaii's fire engines are painted YELLOW for higher visibility when set against a green background.
