What color are Runway Lights generally?

• A. Red
• B. White
• C. Blue
• D. Green

Answer: (B)

Runway lights are generally white because they outline the usable pavement and give pilots a clear, high-contrast cue for alignment during takeoff and landing. The white edge lights let you see the runway boundaries clearly, helping you stay on the correct path even in low visibility. You’ll notice blue lights marking taxiways, which are separate from the runway, and green lights at the threshold indicating the start of the landing area. So the standard color you’re most likely to rely on along the runway is white.
