[Answer] From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?"



...Yes, yellow was the standard color for stop signs for nearly 30 years. In fact, the red stop sign has only been the standard for the last 60 years. Before then, the octagonal traffic sign was yellow, with the word STOP in black letters. It wasn’t until 1954 that the stop sign became the bright red color, adorned with white letters that we now know today. This change also served to distinguish the regulatory stop sign from yellow warning signs, and also made the color consistent with that of red traffic signal indications, which for decades had used red to signal "stop".

[Ans] By law, what color is a gondola in Venice, Italy?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "By law, what color is a gondola in Venice, Italy?"



The gondola is a Venetian flat-bottomed boat that has been a traditional part of navigating the canals of Venice for hundreds of years. Although gondolas were once the primary means of transportation around Venice, they are mainly used to transport tourists today. Gondolas must be painted black by law, an ordinance which dates back to a 16th-century sumptuary law which tried to check the increasing gaudiness that had begun to touch all aspects of Venetian society, including their private boats. The black gondola has become one of the world's most beautiful, yet functional, works of art.

[Ans] When did the first color TV go on sale to the public?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "When did the first color TV go on sale to the public?"

It seems a bit strange that the first color TV went on sale in the summer of 1950, yet it was June 1951 before the first television show was broadcast in color. It would take another two years for color televisions to become a mainstream "must have" product. RCA color televisions gained FCC approval toward the end of 1953. This marked the start of color televisions as a major selling item in the United States. More homes had color televisions than black-and-white TVs by the mid-1970s. Source: Reference.com

[Ans] What color are the leaves of birch, tulip poplar, redbud and hickory trees in autumn?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What color are the leaves of birch, tulip poplar, redbud and hickory trees in autumn?"



When the leaves of trees such as redbuds, birches, tulip poplars and hickory always turn yellow in the fall, never red. There is apparently no biological significance or function to the shift in color. There are a few trees, such as dogwoods, black gums, sugar maples and sourwoods that usually turn red but they may, on occasion, be yellow as well. The most intense color shifts in fall foliage take place in areas such as New England in the northeastern U.S. Source: NCNatural.com

[Answer] Automobile accidents are more likely to involve which color car?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Automobile accidents are more likely to involve which color car?"



...A 20-year study completed in 2013 concluded that black cars are more likely to be in an automobile accident - up to 47 percent more likely - than any other color car. It is the low visibility of these black cars that makes them more vulnerable, especially at dusk. But it isn't all bad news for black cars: during daylight, these cars are only 12 percent more likely to be in an accident than white cars. The study found white cars the safest to drive because of their higher visibility in all light levels. Source: Reference.com
