Answered by wiki @
The red phone booth is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world. The color red was chosen to make them easy to spot. Royal Mail estimates there are also over 100,000 red pillar post boxes in the United Kingdom. Prior to 1859 there was no standard color. In 1859, a bronze green color became standard until 1874. Initially, it was thought that the green color would be unobtrusive. Too unobtrusive, as it turned out — people kept walking into them. Red became the standard color in 1874, although ten more years elapsed before every box in the UK had been repainted.
