Vandaar dat schilders meestal een witte dragen....

en de schilders hebbe wit want het meest wat geverft moet worden is een lichte kleur. die lichte vlekke vallen minder goed op op een witte overal als op een rode. en als er minder vlekke lijken te zijn, denk je dat is een betere schilder.

Painters

Nobody seems to know for sure how the practice started, but there are a few theories about why “whites” made sense. In fact, the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades, posed the same question to their memberships.

One advantage that just about everyone could agree on is that white connotes cleanliness. A painter, after all, removes dirt and crumbling plaster before applying paint. Many painters compared the purity of their “whites” to the uniforms of nurses, chefs, and bakers. Philadelphia One painters theory is that a white uniform is like a badge that says, “There’s no paint on me, so I’m doing a my job.” Obviously, it is as hard to hide paint smeared on a white uniform as it is to hide a ketchup stain on a chef’s apron.

The white uniform is also a sign of professionalism, one that distinguishes painters from other crafts people. In the early twentieth century, nonunion workmen tried to horn in on the painting trade. These workers, usually moonlighting, wore blue overalls or other ordinary work clothes not related to the paint trade. By contrast, The “real painters” certainly looked professional in there white overalls, white jackets, and black ties.” Even today, most professionals prefer crisp white uniforms (even if they’ve shed the tie), while odd-job part timers might wear blue jeans and a T-shirt.

Of course, a color other than white could still look clean and professional. And at first glance, white seems like precisely the wrong color. By wearing white, you “broadcast” any color you spill. True, but remember that the majority of the time painters are dealing with white paint. And what other color uniform is going to look better when splattered with white paint?

Painters deal with other white substances more than likely to be deposited on there uniforms. Another theory is that “whites” began in the eighteenth-century England, when buildings were routinely whitewashed.

Plaster, lime, spackle, and compound are also white. Repairing and sanding existing walls creates a fine white powder; therefore wearing painters whites enables the materials to blend into the uniform.

Even if a painter isn’t thrilled with pigment-stained whites, compared to other colored garb, they are a washroom delight. Traditionally, painters used bleach or lye to remove paint from their uniforms: Those that started with dark uniforms ended up with bleached-out dingy, light colored ones anyway.

A few more advantages of whites; They are cheaper than dyed fabric and because of the color, reflect light rather than absorb it, a small comfort to painters working in the sun drenched great outdoors. Also, if someone sees them wearing white, they may offer them another painting job. They are a walking billboard.

toch raar dat ut bij boeren zo raar te verklaren is. als je kijkt naar andere. ff een lijstje wat ik denk
wegwerkers oranje = voor de veiligheid
schilders wit= om proffesionaliteit uit te stralen
tuinmannen groen = vlekken die je krijgt van de tuin van bomen enz is gras dus valt op groen minder op
bouwvakkers grijs (als die overal aanhebbe) = specie en stenen is grijs en dat valt dus ook minder op
garage monteurs rood = kleuren van de vakgarage (dus profesioneel)
zuivel wit = straalt hygiene uit
houtbewerkers bruin = hout is ook bruin en zaagsel zie je minder goed (oke deze is slecht)
boeren blauw = vanwege de vliegen, makkelijkst te kleuren?????
