What color features prominently on Port-hand day beacons?

Black or Green
Red or Blue
Yellow or White
Orange or Purple

The correct answer is: Black or Green

On Port-hand day beacons, the color green features prominently. These beacons indicate navigable waters and are typically found on the left side when entering a harbor or channel from the sea. Black is not commonly used on day beacons, while red is usually reserved for warning or danger. Blue is used for informational purposes such as indicating a fairway or marking a marina entrance. Yellow may be used for caution, but it is not a primary color used on day beacons. White is used for general purposes, but is not usually featured prominently on day beacons. Orange and purple are not typically used for navigational purposes, making them incorrect choices.
