This seems perilously close to the green color of traffic lights.
Is there any reason to use anything close to the existing spectrum of green (drive quickly into this light) or blue (emergency) for this? Why not purple?
Do bear in mind they selected turquoise which is just equal parts blue and green light. Like, why would you do that if you had any other choice?
Color perception is a tricky thing as anyone who has ever painted a house knows. The ambient can deeply affect it, and people have different perceptions of color in their eyes to say nothing of those with Tritanomaly who simply won’t be able to discern these colors at all. And then there’s lots of traffic lights already have kind of a turquoise color. Just look for yourself:

Is that really the best choice? Really? Seems kinda short sighted, so to speak.
