What does the color (red or black) of the Leica emblem on the front of the Leica M 240 indicate?

It indicates that it is a Leica camera, red comes out as standard from Leica; some people repaint it black to make it more ‘stealthy’. I regret selling my, but I am happy with the SL.

Thanks for your comment, but I think that the emblem on my M-240 was "factory" installed.

Your next step should be to ask your Leica Dealer or better still go to Leica Forum and ask in Leica M System section: https://www.l-camera-forum.com/index.php

Hello,

The color of the Leica emblem on the front of the Leica M 240, be it red or black, doesn't indicate any functional or performance differences in the camera. Instead, it is purely a matter of aesthetic design.
