Carbon dioxide extinguishers are typically identified by their black color. This color coding helps distinguish them from other types of fire extinguishers, which may be painted in different colors to indicate their contents. The black color indicates that the extinguisher is designed for use on electrical fires and flammable liquids. Always check the label for specific usage instructions and safety information.
