Abuse of colour

To my mind, the three primary colours have been allocated to the three emergency service, an allocation which seems to run more or less across the world. Red for the fire service (or fire and rescue service as they now like to be called), blue for police and green for ambulances. With white and yellow trim being used to round out the branding of their vehicles.

So I don't care for these colours and stripes being appropriated by others, in this case the people who come to mend your boiler and fix your dripping taps. Visually confusing, a confusion which might slow down one's reactions in an emergency, like getting out of the way of a fire engine.
