Black always looks sinister on a siren.

I second that, from what I remember somebody owns a black T-128 and it looks great. It'd look really good on the T-135.

I feel like royal/deep blue would look great on the T-135.

I’d say that any high visible colour on a siren benefits to make it more noticeable. Grey is not a good option as it blends in with the sky, royal blue is too dark and is hard to see, black can camouflage in the night and people will not know where it is. Red is a good option, especially bright red, as it is noticeable and gives citizens time to notice the siren and prepare. Or if it’s a test just to be wary of where it is. Yellow is alright, it’s visible… but it’s outdated and is mostly associated with Civil Defence.

My opinion would be Red. We don’t have a lot of red sirens, and it would be cool to see them. It makes for a good visibility. And that green siren you was joking about, it already exists. A 2001 painted for Girl Scouts. And the Gent’s Tangent. I’ve seen a few of those.

Eh, Red is commonly used for fire sirens (not to mention every noisemaker I own except the hand crank is red :lol: )
It would be interesting to see red on a 135... I do agree with green, IMO green looks great on every siren.
