Q

Information markers, when lighted, will display which color light?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Aids to Navigation (ATON) buoy colors, shapes, and meanings • How regulatory/information buoys (orange and white) are marked in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System • Which light color is commonly used on non-lateral buoys like information, danger, and control buoys

💭 Think About

• First, picture the daymark appearance of an information buoy (shape and color). Then recall what color light is typically paired with that style of buoy at night. • Think about which light color is used most often for special-purpose or regulatory buoys that are not used for left/right channel marking. • Eliminate any light colors that are normally associated with lateral channel buoys (port/starboard) or with fixed obstruction/marking lights.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what light color is used on orange-and-white regulatory markers in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System. • Confirm which light colors are mainly reserved for lateral channel marking (port and starboard sides of the channel). • Check a U.S. Coast Guard ATON diagram to see the light color indicated for information and regulatory buoys specifically.
