Ambulances are usually white-painted and have to display an orange and reflective stripe all around the vehicle, in addition to a star of life on each side and the word AMBULANCE reversed on the front.

After protests from the American Red Cross that the safety orange cross was insufficiently distinguishable from the protected Red Cross symbol, the U.S. Department of Transportation developed the Blue Star of Life as a replacement for the safety orange cross.
