Which statement describes the AVGAS color code?

• A. Has the word AVGAS in blue letters on a white background.
• B. Has the word Avgas in black letters on a white background.
• C. Has the word Avgas or octane rating in white letters on a red background.
• D. Has orange letters on a black background.

Answer: (C)

AVGAS labeling uses a red background with white letters, and it may include the word AvGas or the octane rating. This color and wording convention makes the fuel type instantly recognizable to ground crew, helping to prevent misfueling and ensuring the correct octane grade is used. Other color schemes (such as blue on white, black on white, or orange on black) do not match the standard AVGAS marking, so they wouldn’t be correct descriptions of the typical AVGAS color code.
