Just got back from my daily walk. Why are all the fire hydrants painted beige? Not liking it

Answer 1

They are being sand blasted . not painted till warmer weather.

@demigod8 possibly a primer so they won't oxidize . not sure.

Answer 2

That's a weird color choice. Aren't they supposed to stand out? Unless that's a primer. Do fire hydrants need a primer when being painted? I looked up some stuff and if they're actually silver, it could be so that they're more visible at night. I haven't seen the fire hydrants myself yet.
