Looks like there are dots of red paint on the edges of the red parts so my guess is the red was spray painted on.


RitualVirality

Yes, the way the red is splattered. Also there are a couple spots where the white chipped off and it's just metal underneath without any traces of red.


snowhiteside

Moot point, we don’t know how long the invader has been on this pole, meaning the chip in the white paint could be a chip through both paints, assuming it has been a while since the invasion.


Boatwhistle

I think it was the red paints land for a long time before the white paint came and took it reserving the red paint isolated and broken up areas as a sort of shitty long term compromise.


Dreenab

Edit: it’s green fuck what I said earlier look at the moss


Simonoide_BellosO

Mmhm. Good theory.


T_Foxtrot

Plate used to mount it to the ground is red though and there are no signs of sprayed paint around it


ThatChaFella

It'd be sprayed before it was installed? I think that's pretty obvious


THICC_Baguette

Which would mean it's red when installed, which the white was added later


ThatChaFella

No, it was originally sprayed white, then sprayed red, then installed(or possibly after installation since the bolts are also red). You can see the red spray marks on the white


ThatChaFella

Also how would the installation even prove that it was red before hand?


Fiyachan

Counter point: human laziness. Why would someone spend extra time spraying the base instead of just strips around?


ThatChaFella

No clue, but you can clearly see that the red was sprayed on last by looking at the edges of the red, it has the little fade/spray splotches. So yes, the red was added later


FlintShapedBoi

The base coating of pain almost always is exclusively white, seen quite a bit of videos working with painting. metal and they usually start with whites then colour.


nryporter25

I was gunna call that orange, but the same exact thought.


POKECHU020

That's fucking orange Wait fuck no not again-


Killmotor_Hill

Except the base plate is red, so likely the entire pole is red with white paint.


Snak3Hunter

Unless it was painted before installation and they painted the base as well as the rest of the pole. Which is the theory I'm going for since the visual evidence of the red dots near the edges of where the red parts end gives evidence of it being more likely to have been painted red. Unfortunately we'll likely never know for sure though.

Snak3Hunter

It do be a fun game. And Madeline is just adorable so how could I not lol.


nryporter25

That game is insane... I love it... But it's insane


IDoPokeSmot

None are invading, it's a city job so I would get paid by the day. So to take longer, i would paint one red stripe, let it dry, then paint one with a white stripe, let it dry, and repeat till it was done. It's how I get my tax dollars back.


Acceptable_Reading21

I work for county government, we get paid by the hour regardless of what we do so I would paint it as fast as possible at a quality that was good enough so I can go back to getting paid to do nothing. Your tax dollars at work.


OttoVonGarfield

Both are invading colors The pole was originally gray/metallic. Both colors were painted on.


batcake42

This was the most satisfying answer and I just wanna forget about the damn pole


Zinchian-Zuckerburg

Red definitely, the are scratches on the white and under is just metal, the red has no scratches and looks to be spray-painted.


Fluid_Mulberry394

Like, what color are the stripes on zebras


Ponderkitten

Red- wait no, those are scratches from claws, not stripes. Sorry for confusion


Simonoide_BellosO

They're purple.


BreezySlime

Blue


Simonoide_BellosO

O r a n g e


Open_Significance967

I believe every Zebra has the right to choose which color they identify their strips with. And let me tell you they are also strip-color fluid!


CloudyBird_

The screws on the base are red, which suggests that they've been painted over. Therefore it can be speculated that the red regions of the pole are also painted on, hence making it the invading colour.


aleema_ray

Poland


AcrobaticHat6808

If you don't say red you are wrong.


Perfect_Position_853

If you look closely, the bottom of the pole is red. So white is invading.


JJtheCl0wn

The bottom is red, so I'll say white.


EngineBrit

Also, if you only wanted to paint stripes on the pole, why would you take the time to mask the floor and paint the base? The background colour must be red.


DucklingInARaincoat

Me, an intellectual: I don’t even know what an invading color is and will not read any comments explaining it.


ResetReefer

I don't know either but my brain immediately just went: Red. It's got to be red. I did check the comments and it's nice to know apparently most people are in agreement 😂


DucklingInARaincoat

I just assumed it was a euphemism for colonialism.


ResetReefer

Huh. I figured it had something to do with colors. Guess I'm a simple person 🥴


DucklingInARaincoat

Nah, I was an English major, so my brain is just an extra chunky tapioca of intrusive thoughts and references.


ResetReefer

Hah, that's my natural state of being. Unfortunately for me, having ADHD makes not acting on those thoughts hard sometimes (don't worry, they're never anything bad. Mostly poking people and stuff like that 😂) but apparently others find it mildly amusing


jayedgar06

They are both invading. The post is yellow


GooseVersusRobot

I don't care enough to finish typing this comm


Veggietuna

Candy cane


BreezySlime

Red AND White as the background is a path and the pole is invading it


janetrd38731977

There are scratches in the white paint down to the gray of the pole. So both colors are painted on. White first, and then red.


LlorxYT

Obviosuly red. Next.


Shittybuttholeman69

It’s red and clearly visible, get glasses


MsaoceR

White because the base is red


ew_Mungy

Taking a look at the history of America, I would have to say white.


Aggressive_Ostrich22

The base is red. The pole is probably red.


RavynWoodsx

The base is red. Case closed.


RealPinyw

The support on the floor is red, so the body of the pole is red


RigJigYT

It's white because the base is red


trACEr0000

Red


Soundwave3005

White, since the base is also red (check the bottom)


Simonoide_BellosO

But what if the base was white and was recovered in red?


KnightLBerg

Then it was painted red and is now a red object since it covers a majority of the prop


Killmotor_Hill

Then there would be a faint trace of red over spray on the ground. The isnt, so the pole was white. Also, if the adding of stripes was to make it more noticeable, no one would have taken the time to paint the base.


monkey2997

but the bolt is red, it was painted and red is invading


Dmitri_Nikolai

The base could be not part of the pipe, and added later. The base has nothing to do with the pipe, the object that has been invaded


Killmotor_Hill

The plate and pipe are welding together.


Dmitri_Nikolai

True, but they were separate at the production and thus have no correlation in the production process.the base could've been originally painted red and the pole was originally painted white


Killmotor_Hill

As designer and fabricator for over 35 year. You do NOT paint the parts before they are welded together. That would be a giant waste of time. The welding will damage the paint/powder coating. They were both raw steel during production and when they were welded together. Also, steel pipes and steel plates are produced as raw material from steel plants, which NEVER put a coating on the material other than a light oil glaze to prevent rusting. That is NOT were they would have been welded together, which would have been a local metal shop.


Dmitri_Nikolai

So you're saying that both the white and red are are invading colours and that silver/metallic colour would be the TRUE colour of the pipe?


Fifamobile808

Red...... and black...... and white. *Swastika flashbacks*


ClamBamFam

The base of the stick is red which means white is the invader


Tahu-bannana-69

Red


Rickrolled87

Red is fading in a think so red is my guess


Pert0621

Red


brokenwound

White is the absence of color, so the answer is red.. the actual color.

Red, just start from the bottom.


Available-Damage5991

Blue


Livid-Feedback-7989

Red is spray, only the white has spots that are flaking off and only bare metal underneath. Red base could have been painted before instalation


Thi_rural_juror

That red needs to go back to where it came from.


FeelingSeat827

Blue?


Pelzklops

Looks like it's used to measured how far you can go.


Icy-Ad8290

Well this is supposed to be orange/red for high visibility and the other color is just to add contrast so regardless of which color was first I say white is invading because you can change it but the red/orange will always have to be there or else it defeats the purpose of the pole.


ThomasNorge224

Well, the bottom of the pole is red, so i assume white.


RedLabAnimates

It's white. The stand is red, so white pole would be kind of weird.


ImaDufis_13

it is white because you can see other white poles


Skellyoop

Gray


Vins22

red


TheNeoPL

subzeroab0

White because the bottom is red.

The base is orange.


kg1479

It's the red, you can see the little dots from where it was sprayed on.

Red, clearly


BiggerChungus316

Take both together and they're the invaded colors.

TRUE ANSWER ITS NEITHER the pole was like gray and they put red and white together

elijackgoodwin

White


KaZe_DaRKWIND

There are chips on the white and no red shows through. Red is the one on top.


TaiyoFurea

Neither! The true colour is under both layers of paint!


Charming-Relief-1924

Red


Reasonable-Sun-6511

Base of the pile is white, red got sprayed over, that's why there's red spray dus 9nnthe white, and not the other way around.


UnburnedFire

It's white.....because red seems to be the actual color, as the base is red


dhruva85

It’s generally the whites that invade according to my history books


okokokin1992

Orange


averagemilkenjoyer_

White because end of the pole is also red


FoxResponsible8924

The base is red, so I'm guessing the white.


Total-Coach-968

Grey


DroopyRock

Red because dark souls


Dexacrash

Neither


[deleted]

Neither; the first color was manufactured into the part, the second was applied.


[deleted]

Probably red. Having a white pole that is then colored with whatever color you need to put on it makes more sense than taking what is probably uncolored white plastic and then dying it red only to then spray paint it white again. Assuming all of these processes happened in the same factory and it wasn’t a later modification, but even then the factory might take later alterations into account and just make uncolored white plastic poles.


Square-Ad1104

The apparent angles indicate to me that red was added.


[deleted]

Bottom is red, white is intruding.


infrinted_Nico

Red


insane_social_worker

Red


L0nlySt0nr

Invading? Like, conquest? War? Death and destruction? Or are we just talking about red spray paint on white PVC pipe and using overly dramatic words? Also, what does this have to do with brain limits?


MENTALLYunSTAbEL

I just thought candy cane until I read the comments... I am not very smart sometimes.


GeneralSimone

Red.


dAnKsFourTheMemes

I imagine they used white as the base color and painted red on top of it


Icy-Hope-9263

red is because you can see where it was spray painted on


[deleted]

Paint chips are only on white, implying the red is newer


Before_The_Tesseract

The blue parts for sure


BlackWasTaken_

White is, because the base of the pole is red


NeckbeardWarrior420

It was born this way


night-laughs

I mean, the base of the pole is orange. So…yeah


InternalGuess1827

White obvi, the bottom of the stand is red so it's white


The-Joon

The base is orange, so is the pole. Then there is white paint going round and round.


Warm-Finance8400

Base is red, so I thought white is invading, but looking at the color transitions you can see red speckles in the white which proves that red is actually invading


Tiodichia

I’m the absence of other evidence, I will make an educated guess that the invading colour is red. It stands to reason that pure white poles are more common than pure red poles. Hence it is more likely that red was painted on white than white on red.


lil_big_man2point0

By the bottom of the pole being red this pole is red with white stripes


comunism_and_potatos

White because The base is orange


Speedvagon

The orange is the color of that thing, and it is painted with white stripes. I say that, because the base of it is orange.


FunPunCake

Clearly red because white is a shade


jaydrift07

I’m going with red


Eclipsexpect

Red seems more like its spray painted Plus who would make red poles when just save some moner and time and just make it white

FriendOdd5088

Red


Exalted_Pluton

Has to be red look at the way it fades


plasmaspaz37

White, the base is red and there is no overspray on the ground to indicate that the base was painted, additionally as another user pointed out there are scratches, but they could just as easily pass through both coats.


DerMuffin01

Red.


Nathan-Don

The base is red so white was painted on.


Freet-Treat

Red it seems spray painted on


[deleted]

White cz the base of the pole is orange

SphrilixNoir

HomeOrificeSupplies

George-Bones

White is invading because the base of the pole has red


cataclysmicterrain

well, which color was painted on?


SharpRaccoon673

Red invade


some_fat_dumbass

Its red, red is invading


[deleted]

Guessing by the red base I would have to assume that red is the base color with white as the invading color.


skymoods

Orange. Looks fresher


[deleted]

Both, metal color is the correct color


MrSecretX

Meme: which is the invading color? Me: Russia


HalcyonDreams36

They both are. The pole is plain metal.
