Both a car and vessel sides are defined from behind the steering wheel. It is confusing when ordering a car part for left or right side and how that is determined. It is determined from behind the steerng wheel. The drivers side is left and the passenger side is right.
An easy way to remember port and starboard is port and left have 4 letters. So, port is the left side of the vessel when you are behind the wheel.
As to the color of the light, port wine is red and the red light is on the port side of the vessel.
FROM BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL
PORT HAS 4 LETTERS AND SO DOES LEFT
PORT WINE IS RED AND SO IS LIGHT ON THE LEFT (PORT) SIDE
You can always relate Green and Right to Starboard as they all have more letters than Red and Left and Port.
