Are fire alarm panels required to be red, and if so where is this requirement?

For the longest time, Cerberbus Pyrotronics and Siemens addressable panels (MXL and XLS) are black.
Default color on Notifier panels is black as well, but they can be had in red also. As a flip side, Fire-Lite panels can be ordered in black.
Pull stations, yes, but haven't seen anything about panels.
NFPA 72
17.14.1.1* Unless installed in an environment that precludes the use of red paint or red plastic, manual fire alarm boxes shall be red in color.
I just opened the box on a black Notifier FACP this morning.

I did not know that. Thanks for filling my "learn something new every day" quota! :thumbsup:
