After Apollo 12, red stripes were added to the commander's space suit so that the astronauts could be recognized in surface photography.

Here we see commander Gene Cernan supervising Jack Schmitt's use of the lunar surface drill. Difficult to see in the dark, a gnomon rests in front of Cernan, who must have been documenting some lunar samples prior to collection.
