        Fahrenheit isn’t too bad IMO. It’s more granular so it’s usually sufficient to use whole numbers for everything. 0F to 100F is a temperature range a person might be subjected to in day-to-day life, with 0F being pretty cold and 100F being pretty hot.

          I never undertand the more granular, the scale is in 180 because that’s the most precision they could use to manufacture scientific thermometers, nowadays it’s completely irrelevant. Celsius thermometers have a granularity of 0.1°C and that is useful soley when you want to differentiate between “almost a slight fever” and “maybe a slight fever”. Do you find yourself needing to differentiate between 45 °F and 46 °F?

      Amber has been scientifically proven to be easier to notice, and mildly safer than using the same bulb as the brake light to indicate a turn.

      Here’s a paper on it. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/811115

      This paper contains data relating to the effectiveness of amber turn signals by comparing striking and struck cars with the same configuration (amber or red), and the odds of not getting struck with an amber turn signal equipped vehicle is always about 4-8% better than otherwise.

          Unless you have some kind of color blindness, orange is among the most noticeable colors to the human eyes, especially in an urban background
