Can buoys are painted red to indicate their position in maritime navigation. In the United States, red buoys typically mark the right side of a channel when entering from the sea, following the IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) buoyage system. The color coding helps sailors identify safe navigational routes and avoid hazards. Additionally, red is a highly visible color, making it easier for mariners to spot these buoys in various weather conditions.
