Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in a recent interaction with journalists dismissed the notion that there is any politics behind launching orange-colour Vande Bharat trains, saying the choice of colours was informed by scientific thought. “For human eyes, two colours are supposed to be the most visible – yellow and orange. In Europe, almost 80 per cent of trains have either orange or a combination of yellow and orange,” Vaishnaw said.
“There are many other colours, such as silver, which are bright like yellow and orange but if we talk about it from the point of view of visibility to the human eye, these two colours are considered to be the best,” he added.
