Red...... i think
A fire extinguisher is typically red, so it's easy to spot. It is marked with information identifying the type of extinguisher it is, such as dry powder or foam. It will also indicate the types of fires it is appropriate for.

A nice working fire extinguisher. Ussually they are red and hanging some where in the house. The ABC rated or the CO2 fire extinguisher works. DO NOT USE WATER!!
The extinguisher that has only a green triangle on it would be a really BAD choice because it probably contains water for putting out Class A fires of ordinary combustibles.

Fire extinguishers are marked by colour and signage. It is important that any extinguisher is used correctly. For instance, an extinguisher containing water will be red, and have a warning not to use it on an oil or electrical fire. Carbon Dioxide will be black, Foam will be yellow, or in some countries, red with a yellow horizontal band, Dry powder is blue. Any health and safety website will provide examples of the colours used, and also instructions on their use, and on what type of fire they must not be used on.
The standard colour of fire extinguishers in the United Kingdom is a signal red body with another colour banding depending on the kind of fire extinguisher.
