Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there a reason why they used those specific colors? I don't understand why a hospital would be yellow or a police station would be black by default. My guess would be white and blue, respectively.

It's presumptuous to assume your cultural norms apply to everyone across the entire world. I think it's completely reasonable to assume Greenland has relatively separate history from wherever you got the "white and blue" intuition from.

Yes, that is why I asked. I wasn't criticizing their choice, I wanted to know why it was made, the cultural reasons or circumstances behind it.

I see. Sorry, I misread the tone of your comment.
