Colors
Traditionally, blue lights are used for both firefighters and EMTs. However, some states (especially in the Northwestern US) use Green lights for both firefighters and EMTs. Other States (most notably New York) use Blue for firefighter and Green for EMTs. White has traditionally been allowed with Blue or Green; however, in recent years, certain states (Pennsylvania, New York) have become more restrictive. Rarely, red is used for courtesy lights.

Famous quotes containing the word colors:
“You look rather rash my dear your colors don’t quite match your face.”
—Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)
“Our frigate takes fire,
The other asks if we demand quarter?
If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
