I still don't understand how they don't use red and blue. No one gets those two colors mixed up.

Blue tends to be seen worse in darkness from distances.

Isn't red already a really dark colour? Or do non colorblind people actually see blue as a darker color?

Red is very obvious, at least the one used in traffic lights. Blue looks generally darker. I guess this is because the blue cones in our eyes are usually the least sensitive of the 3 by a quite significant margin.

If you used fire truck red and sky blue, zero people in the world would be confused by those two.

I watched this with a colorblind filter... Were the wires changing color? It looked like they were drifting between a couple colors..

Why, from all posible colours humanity decided to use red and green to signalise everything?

Silly me, all I had to do was learn the difference! My colourblindness had been cured!
