Most of the world mandates 3 colors in rear — red for brakes, amber for turn, white for reverse, and often there are additional distinct red lights to differentiate between night lights and night braking.
You're correct about that, OP was talking about the turn signals.
In the US the turn signals in rear can/must be red (depends on state) and can even be the same light serving multiple purposes (turn, brake, night position, night brake).
I'm not really sure how it works if you need to do 3 of those at the same time (brake at night with the turn signal on)...
Yeah that got me very confused. The post is specifically about the brake lights, and they didn't specify they were talking about something else. It's not hard to confuse me, though.
