Why are fire trucks and ambulances in some extent being painted yellow, or green in some counties in US? When majority is classic red?

Canuckistani here . . . our Emergency services USED to use yellow, as there are ample studies showing it is the most visible colour in the spectrum. Hell, my parents bought a yellow vehicle in the early 80’s SPECIFICALLY because Mom saw something about it on the news.
For whatever reason, sometime in the 90’s, our fire service started to switch back to traditional “red” paint jobs, and the Cops all seemed to go to white cruisers with red and blue trim.
Now the Cops all seem to want “dark” colours (intimidation), which is bullshit in my eyes. Emergency vehicles need to be VISIBLE, which is why I like the UK/Euro aesthetic.
