Which color indicates the starboard side light on a powerboat?

Explanation:
Navigation lights use color coding to show which side of the boat is forward at night. The right-hand side, known as the starboard side, is indicated by a green light. The left-hand side, port, is shown with red, and a white light is used for the rear (stern). So seeing green means you’re looking at the starboard side light. This color convention helps other boats judge your direction and avoid collisions.
