donroxy: The answer is BLUE !!

This is not about traffic light nor war but Corporate world i.e construction company !!


Companies Operate either in Red Ocean or Blue Ocean ...... The red ocean signifies extreme level of competition where each company has to fight dirty in order to create market for themselves and attract clients ....

In a Blue Ocean , Company under review controls the market , it clients and enjoy competitive advantage over any other competitors in such market .... It has a special features that can never be matched by competitors through Innovation and Innitiatives !!



Conclusively, The Opposite of Red in a company is BLUE ...... Keep your sciences to yourself ! cheesy
what about white ocean and black ocean? cheesy. That should have meaning in the construction company too.

Fant:
I can tell you there is no single correct answer for your question. Since this is an interview question you will need to make a guess of the possible answer which your interviewer may have in his head. Your sure bet will be green.

I will describe this in the following perspectives.

WEB DESIGN.
In Web design, the colour code (hexcode) for red is #FF0000. The opposite of this will be #0000FF which will give you a Blue.

SCIENCE
In chemistry we know that acid is the opposite of base. When acid is applied to a red litmus paper it turns blue and vice versa.

CAMERA
if you switch your phone camera to negative and focus it on a red object,, your camera will show the object as green.

TRAFFIC LIGHT.
In a traffic light, red connotes danger which green connotes safety.

CONCLUSION.
Your interviewer may not know a thing about Web design, science or picture editing. But since he uses the traffic lights almost everyday, his ignorant mind will tell him it's green so you are the one who needs a job so your sure bet for getting the job will be to dance to his ignorance - that's how you pay your bills anyways!
the answer is a mixture of blue and green which gives either aqua or cyan. In web design, the opposite of red(ff0000) is not blue(0000ff). F has to turn to 0 and vise versa such as in white and black. So you get a mixture of blue and green (00ffff).

Tosdam: My uncle that works in a construction company shared his interview experience with me some hours ago and I wish to share it with you guys here too.

Uncle Joe sit me down and tells me why so many graduates flop in an interview questions these days. He tells me how so many graduate prepare hard for an interview but get soak with shame and embarrassment after the interview. He further picture how the best student with the best result still strive hard to have a pass mark in a cheap interview question.

Interview is not about showing your skill in calculus but expressing how fast and the level of your intelligent quotient.

Now, let me share you one of the top most question asked by an employer in a construction company.

Question:

The opposite of white is black, what is the opposite of RED?

Note: This is an interview question. Uncle Joe was the only luckiest applicant that got it right and got the Job........
fr3do: According to decreasing wavelength
Red > orange > yellow > green > blue > indigo > violet

For decreasing frequency
VIBGYOR

So from this violet is the opposite of red.

To prove this further, tune your phone camera to negative and view a red object.

The answer is BLUE !!

This is not about traffic light nor war but Corporate world i.e construction company !!

Idrismusty97: what about white ocean and black ocean? cheesy. That should have meaning in the construction company too.
Nope, you can give them meaning in Literature by creating your own color and its meaning ....

Red has meaning to company ... It is simply BLOOD

BLUE has meaning too ..... It is simply BOSS !! cheesy

RED/BLUE are simply Company's STRATEGY towards the Market !


For real, the answer is BLUE not Green of Traffic Light ! grin

Well, from my own point of view as a Health and Safety practitioner...

I will say the opposite of RED is BLUE.

In occupational health and safety, RED as a colour represents 'prohibition' while blue denotes 'Mandatory action'.

In lay terms, RED means don't do it!
While BLUE means, u must do it.

And bearing in mind tht occupational safety is given a prominent role in d construction industry.
