What colors are typically used for rapid-exit taxiway lights?

Rapid-exit taxiway lights are designed to assist pilots in navigating safely and efficiently from the runway to the taxiway after landing. The use of green and yellow colors for these lights serves a specific purpose.

The green color indicates that the pilot is on the correct path to the exit taxiway, providing clear visual guidance during the critical phase of landing and taxiing. The yellow color is used to alert pilots about the transition area and to emphasize caution as they approach the taxiway. This combination enhances nighttime visibility and situational awareness for pilots as they maneuver on the airport’s surface, ensuring that they are guided properly without confusion.

In contrast, other color combinations do not align with the established aviation standards for lighting that supports pilots' operational needs in this context.
