The bottom line on solving the buoy color ambiguity is to look at the chart to see the side of safe passage. I never trust color alone and always check charts continuously when in an area I'm not 100% familiar with. There are many questionable areas....Pistol Island is one that comes to mind and another area heading up Moultonborough bay where the colors seem to reverse. This is because there is a huge (18') submerged rock in 20' of water in the middle of the passage. You can never check your chart too often.
