Accordingly, yellow is more of a visible color at night than
red is, so when they are traveling at night, they are easier
to see on the road.
  It is sad to see fire trucks that are traditionaly red,
painted yellow.  Most of us probably grew up with red fire
trucks, and it's traditional with us (c'mon, didn't you have
a little red fire truck when you were a kid, and read stories
about red fire trucks) What will you tell your kid when you
get him a little red fire truck and he tells you it isn't yellow?
