Which statement about AVGAS labeling color coding is correct?

• A. AVGAS is labeled with white letters on a blue background.
• B. AVGAS is labeled with white letters on a red background.
• C. AVGAS is labeled with white letters on a white background.
• D. AVGAS is labeled with white letters on a black background.

Answer: (B)

Labeling AVGAS with white letters on a red background is designed to stand out and be quickly recognizable on the ramp. The high-contrast combination makes the fuel type easy to read from a distance and in bright sunlight, helping prevent misfueling when several fuels are present. Other color schemes would either be harder to read or could blend with other labels, so the white-on-red scheme is used to ensure immediate visibility and quick differentiation from other fuels.
