What color light at night should a canoe use?

At night, a canoe should use a white light that is visible from all directions, typically a lantern or flashlight, to ensure visibility to other boats. In addition, it can also use red and green lights to indicate the direction of travel, with green on the starboard (right) side and red on the port (left) side. This helps other vessels understand the canoe's orientation and movement, enhancing safety on the water.
