Someone smarter than me, please help me understand why "RED" is defined as RGB(255, 0, 51) and not RGB(255, 0, 0) in the TLP standard by CISA.

Further, why is "GREEN" defined is RGB(51, 255, 0), and not RGB(0, 255, 0)?

At least "AMBER" is sane.

@atoponce maybe so that colorblind people can see it (better)? just a guess though.

@bonifartius Intuitively, it's sound. I know that the red and green on actual traffic lights are hues that maximize visibility for red-green colorblindness.
