Smart answer!

Obviously, though, God intended streetcars to be orange, or He wouldn't have 
invented "Traction Orange."

Secretly, I have to admit that red does look good. But, from PRCo red to Toronto 
maroon to Melbourne green, there are a lot of VERY handsome liveries out there, 
present and (more often) past.

And how come we never hear anybody extolling the short-lived Muni blue and gold?
