What color are Control Buoys?

Green
Blue
White
Red

The correct answer is: White

Control buoys are generally white in color, with a few exceptions. These buoys aid in navigation and mark specific locations, such as channels and areas where boats are not allowed to go. Although some may be dual-colored with white and red or white and green, the majority are predominantly white. Option A is incorrect because green buoys typically mark areas where boats can travel safely, and are not to be confused with control buoys. Option B is incorrect because blue buoys often mark marinas or boat ramps and do not indicate control points. Option D is incorrect because red buoys usually mark the right side of a channel when traveling in a certain direction and do not signify control areas.
