Question
The danger signal lights are red in colours.

Answer

The red light gets scattered least by fog or smoke because of its longer wavelength relative to light of any other colour. So, it can be seen even from a long distance. Therefore it is used in signals showing danger.
Colloidal solution and colloidal particles : The solution in which the particles of material do not mix or dissolve in the solvent is called colloidal solution and these particles of colloidal solution are known as colloidal particles.
Examples of colloidal solution or material : Sodium thiosulphate $\left( Na _2 S_2 O _3\right)$, milk, butter, smoke, soap-lather.
