Well, I painted mine red becasue that is what color it was on the box. Now when I look online most are green.

Are all air force fire suppression devices green?

Hey gosmsgo, I'm not sure about all Air Force bases, but I do know the flightline extinguishers at the Air Force Academy and Peterson Air Force Base are pretty much like the ones in your pictures. Same color for sure.
Maybe some of the active duty or reserve AF guys from some other bases can verify if those are AF standard.
Of course, these are just the flightline extinguishers, not anyhting that would be inside the aircraft.
Hope it helps.

They can be either Florescent Yellow, Olive drab, or Red, I have put all three of these in front of the Airplane at various spots, But if it is supposed to represent a halon Fire extinguisher, they are usually florescent yellow.
