Which colours do lifejackets come in, and why?

  1. Blue, green or white, so they match the water
  2. Black or grey, so they last longer
  3. Any colour, because colour does not matter
  4. Red, orange or yellow, so you are easy to see in the water
Show answer

Correct answer: Red, orange or yellow, so you are easy to see in the water

Bright colours help rescuers see you in the water.
