Why are lighthouses red and white?

Not all lighthouses are red and white but all lighthouses need to be visible during the daytime, as well as at night. The colours or stripes on some lighthouses increase their visibility. Some lighthouses are black, because the angle from which they are usually seen by ships places them against the white clouds or bright blue sky, and the traditional white or striped lighthouse makes them hard to see against this background.
