UK Guidelines for use of Reflective on Vehicles
   
  DFT rules for the use of retroreflective on vehicles provides guidelines for the use of colours. Red can be used on the rear of a vehicle, amber on the side and any colour except red can be used on the front. Exceptions to these rules include use deemed as advertising, and for emergency vehicles. Refer to UNEC-104 regs for marking tape. These guidelines do not apply to fluorescent markings.

For emergency vehicles, the Police typically use Blue on the side, Ambulances use Green on the side and Fire use Red on the side. The authorities will specify the grade required.
