Distinguish by color.

In order to present a uniform image to the public across the country, the Postal Administration has chosen specific colors that allow the public to identify its services. From the perspective of the mainstream colors of post office boxes in various countries, red is the most widely used color.

The mailboxes in Argentina, Australia, Denmark, Hungary, India, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Thailand and other countries and regions use red, because red also represents urgency and efficiency.

Most of the mailboxes in Western European countries such as Finland, France, Switzerland, Spain, Luxembourg are mainly yellow, and the mailboxes in Brazil, Bulgaria and other countries and regions are also dominated by yellow.

Blue is the color used for mailboxes in countries such as the United States, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey and Alderney.

Not many mailboxes are orange. TNT mailboxes in Estonia, Indonesia and the Netherlands are all orange.

San Marino Post chose a very unique white as the main color of the mailbox.

The colors of mailboxes in various countries are constantly changing with the development of history.

For example, before 1859, there were no standard colors for British Post boxes. Between 1859 and 1874, gray olive green became the standard color. After 1874, red gradually became dominant.
