Tow trucks can use Blue and Amber here in New Mexico. The actual law is written as, "any color, other than red, in combination with amber." A lot here don't even run amber though, especially at night. I feel that the blue is a lot easier on the eyes of other motorists at night.

Blue is much easier on the eyes at night and can be seen for a long ways off. I can attest to this since I added blue Whelen 700 and 900 heads on my ambulance service's rig on the front and rear after board approval. It breaks up the monotony of red and adds to nighttime safety on the roads and on scene....as long as people pay attention that is...

In NY blue is only allowed to be run to the rear when running forward facing Amber or Red. if running Forward facing Blue, any color may be run to the rear.

In my Excal, I'm setup to swap from Blue to red in under 10 min, so I have rearward facing Red, Blue and Amber, but in the front I just have to swap 2 domes, and 3 modules. white is only SUPPOSED to be used when vehicle is in motion, but we all know how that works

And the myth of the blue aura of safety lives on.
BTW, in NY, only Vol FFs can run blue to the front, all other EVs can only run blue to the rear- VTL 375(41.) 4 A&B

Everybody wants to be blue

But yet, people still hit police cars. Even the ones with all blue.
