What color is the towing light?

  1. Red

  2. Orange

  3. Green

  4. Yellow

The correct answer is: Yellow

While towing lights can come in a variety of colors, the most commonly used color for a towing light is yellow. Red is not a suitable color for a towing light as it is typically reserved for rear brake and taillights. Orange and green are also not commonly used for towing lights and may not meet the safety requirements for visibility on the road. Yellow is the best choice for a towing light as it is easily recognizable, stands out against most backgrounds, and signifies a warning or caution.
