55 Gallon drum colors

I've seen people painting 55 gallon drums black with either red or yellow center sections. Is that prototypical for the early '50s and what does it signify?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
