What color typically represents a safe water buoy in the IALA system?

In the IALA Maritime Buoyage System, a safe water buoy is indicated by the color white. This buoy type is designed to mark fairways and instruct mariners that they are in safe navigable waters. Typically, safe water buoys also carry a red and white vertical stripe marking, which further signifies their purpose in guiding vessels safely through an area. The standard for these buoys helps ensure that mariners can easily identify where navigable waters are located, especially in challenging maritime environments.
