> Lights for taxiway C were also on and set to default settings that included centerline lights (green) along its length. Default settings also included edge lights (blue) and centerline lights (green) illuminating the transition or stub taxiways from the runway to the taxiway.

> Runway and approach lighting for runway 28R were on and set to default settings, which included a 2,400-foot approach lighting system, a precision approach path indicator, touchdown zone lights (white), runway centerline lights (white at the approach end), runway threshold lights (green), and runway edge lights (white at the approach end).

Taxiway: centre green along length, blue edge lights. Can have planes on it. Runway: centre white along length and edges (also landing zone), perpendicular green at end thresholds. Should not have planes on it.

The planes on the taxiway have white takeoff/landing lights. It sounds like the second in the queue didn't turn theirs on until just before the incident, but if any of the others had theirs on prior, it could contribute to misidentifying the taxiway. I think it's common to have the lights on while taxiing and turning them off at rest.
