Pardon me for being dense, but Ivylog's link says rear is green.

Answer: 1. The first gauge identifies the air pressure in the primary system (marked "primary" or "rear brakes" or displays a red needle). The air pressure in the primary system controls the rear brakes. With the heavy loads fire apparatus carry on the rear axles, the rear brakes can perform up to 80 percent of the braking.
The second gauge identifies the secondary system (marked "secondary" or "front" or displays a white or green needle). This gauge indicates the air pressure that controls the front (steering) brakes. Usually, most air-operated accessories (such as the air horn) will also operate from this tank and be registered by this gauge. The two gauges can be combined into one gauge with two needles, color coded as indicated above.
Uhhh, red green or white? Now I'm really confused.
