Best Answer

Red or orange flares/smoke always indicate danger. Bright white flares indicate no danger, but just a warning to other vessels regarding position of the vessel from which the flare is fired, thus helping to avoid a collision. White flares can also be used to illuminate the sea around the vessel in the event of somebody overboard.
