Actually, the biggest advantage is when you are sailing in big seas. I had an encounter where the nav lights were not visible, because they were obscured by the waves.
If I am not mistaken you can have a red-over-green combination on the masthead in addition to the normal nav lights at the pulpit. This way you are covered for the long distance and the short distance (motor boat).

As others have mentioned, the tri colour is used instead of, and not in addition to the other nav lights, when under sail. One advantage that has not been mentioned is that the mast head light is visible further. On a clear night you can see it while the rest of the hull is still over the horizon.

Is there a reason every one is using tri colors at the mast head? Is this in addition to the regular side lights and stern light
