Couldn�t find anything for colorado and then discovered that there is no law
for "passive" and is defaulted to "active" warning/signaling devices.

From what I was told...
Red on front is forbidden,
green is restricted for street signage.
Blue is restricted to certain emergency types
Yellow on sides is okay
Red is for the rear and in some cases the rear wraps around a little bit.

How this is defined is also up to the local jurisdictions as well.  Put on a
set of those colored light windshield washer things and drive around the
denver metro area and you will get many different definitions as you cross
the various jurisdictions.  Because there is no really set code you will get
as many definitions as jurisdictions.
