Why are coats/parkas worn in Antarctica typically red/orange?

488 views

Thinking in terms of heat absorption, wouldn’t black or darker colours be more appropriate, or at those temperatures would such an effect be too minimal to even consider?

Is it therefore for visibility, or is it just the colour of the uniform of the researchers/scientists?

Many thanks! <3

It’s just for visibility

It increases the chances of being seen in harsh conditions, if you’re laying in a snow bank, etc
