Red and green lines on consoles

[TheDocAUS]

This maybe a really dumb question but what do the red and green lines/markings on the central and roof consoles meant to signify?

I have no idea.

Example on roof console.

Port & starboard, a play on the aircraft style overheard console theme?

Yes, they are apparently a nod from Toby Ecuyer, designer of the Grenadier interior.

Toby is a maritime architect who also designed Sir Jim’s two yachts.

We stumbled across one of them (Sherpa, his expedition yacht) docked in St John’s, Newfoundland. It gives pretty serious Grenadier vibes with a similarly boxy, practical thing going on.

See what you think:
