On a related note, French call the middle light orange, and not yellow.
It's fun... After Cédric said the orange thing, I was going to answer that
even in "old" italian (decades ago) the middle light was "orange". I
googled for searching for a reference, and discovered that somebody is
still using "orange" today - to give numbers, 70k results for the italian
equivalent of "semaphore orange" versus 197k results for "semaphore
yellow". Even though I've never heard of it in spoken language.
