I don't see a significance of color in gun handling, ordinarily.

The 4 rules are what I'm thinking about, color has no meaning.

In aviation, it's fairly obvious. All sorts of things are red/green light based. If a radio goes out and you have to use light signals to approach and land in controlled air space, they are white, red and green.

Guns, I don't care what color you are, I don't point at you unless I want to destroy you.

Not being a jerk, just don't understand the significance.
