Explanation
The Ampelkoalition (traffic-light coalition) takes its name from the parties' colors: red for SPD, yellow for FDP, and green for the Greens.
Tips
- SPD is red, FDP is yellow, the Greens are green, that trio makes the traffic light.
- CDU/CSU is black, so any option pairing them with SPD is a grand coalition, not the traffic light.
