I think that the color Red has an appeal to the eye. It draws attention (That is why so many fire trucks are painted red). Many of us have stated we would like to see Ship John Shoal created as a Harbour Light. The color, I am sure, has something to do with that, along with the unique structure itself. I personally like this color on lighthouses.

I also am very fond of the tall towers with alternating colors of black & white. The mighty Cape Hatteras, Cape Henry, Bodie, Tybee, Cape Lookout, and on and on.... How can you argue with that?

Wishing I had more of the colr of money in my pocket,
