Diesel oil is typically color-coded with a green dye in many countries to distinguish it from other fuels, such as gasoline. In the United States, for instance, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates that tax-exempt diesel fuel be dyed red to indicate that it is not subject to federal fuel taxes. This color coding helps prevent the misuse of diesel fuel and ensures compliance with regulations.
