European convention. Green signal, amber low fuel.
As many bikes now have warning lights rather than fuel reserve taps there
might be confusion if the lamps were a similar colour.

I wondered that and could only think that they rationalised to be the same
as cars as most people with two-wheelers would be used to car indicator
warning lights being green...
'course it mucked up my 'neutral' obs for a few months, but at least they
can now use yellow for low fuel instead.....

All the Italian bikes have always had green Indicator idiot lights IME.
It's prolly a british thing, with the old bikes. What colour are the
'merkin idiot lights for turn signals? Green?
Mind you, they cunts flash their stoplights for indicators, so might not
be the best to ask.

Pretty much my philosophy.
Unless it's blinking and going "Awoooogah, Ahwooooogah, AWOOOOOOOGAH!".
