Indian Railways uses blue, red, and green coach colors to indicate coach type and comfort level. Blue coaches represent sleeper and general classes with basic facilities for regular travel. Red coaches are for premium trains like Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and Duronto, offering luxury, speed, and advanced amenities. Green coaches cover Garib Rath and some chair cars, providing affordable AC or semi-premium travel. These color codes help passengers easily identify the class and facilities of their coach at a glance.
