Yet I feel the company behind this design is going to well because some people out there prefer to have design come first and safety dead last. Robitj,

The US has rules about the markings which determine what kind of fire or flame the extinguisher is good for. I was previously under the thought that all had to be red. I like things that are designed to save one's life and property to be a standard color. It is not a requirement apparently. Still, if given the choice, I would like them Red. The reason is, when fire is detected, one is not concerned so much with the beauty of the item but using it as fast as possible. To do so requires finding one fast. One solid color that stands out would meet that requirement. I would hate to have a stove fire and grab a cocktail shaker by mistake to put it out.
