Did you know that painters wear white as a tradition dating back over a century? White clothing became the standard because most materials used in painting (like plaster and paint primer) were white, so it hid splatters well. Also, wearing white makes it easier to spot any other paint color on their clothes, which helps ensure they don’t accidentally transfer it to walls or trim. Today, painters in white are so iconic that they’re often called the "men in white"!
