Which color of buoy indicates safe water?

The color of buoy that indicates safe water is white. These buoys are typically marked with additional information such as a symbol or a letter to guide boaters in navigating safe channels or passages. White buoys often have stripes or symbols and may indicate areas such as fairways, which are designated for safe navigation.

In contrast, red and green buoys are used to designate specific sides of channels—red buoys mark the right side when entering a port from the open sea, and green buoys mark the left. Yellow buoys may serve as mooring buoys or indicate specific hazards, but they do not specifically represent safe water. Understanding these signaling systems is crucial for safe boating practices and navigation.
