It would be nice if people used turn signals and paid attention to mine!
Red or yellow is pretty much a non-issue.  Flashing red is easy to see.

You've gotten advice on how to do it, now let me answer your question that was not a question.

Here in the USA we are used to red signals in the rear for turn, brake and running (tail) since the beginning of car production with lights. 
Some makes have amber in the rear for turn signals (even GM tried it in the 80s), but the majority I see on the road commuting are all red. Our
2015 Buick has red rear turn signals. I do not get any safety argument for amber. Blinking lamp is turn signal, simple. Heck, just getting people to use turn signals would be the safety improvement around here!

So the answer to "why" is , because it works fine!
