    Colors you can differentiate from one another by type (power vs hand vs misc) and see from a distance so they hard to misplace. I use dewalt for powertools, kobalt for hand tools, and bright, but different colors for everything else e.g. pony clamps, neon craftsman levels. This makes it easy to put everything away, and spot when you are looking for them in the middle of working and you don’t know where you put something. Several thumbs up for a random, but interesting question!

      One replier derived racial implications, another harry potter school houses, and politics. It’s a ripe field.

    I like Bosch green and Kärcher yellow. Not really pretty, but kind of iconic.

      All the bosch here are blue. I keep hearing about the green but never saw it. Maybe it’s a European thing. Or maybe our eyecells differ.

      Okay I looked it up. Holy shit. Yeah there’s green ones I never saw them before

        I never knew there are places where only one of them is available.

        Here in germany Bosch Green is the Consumer line while Bosch Blue is the Professional line

          I’m in usa. No green at the local hardware stores. Never saw it on usa amazon either. Hmmm. Maybe it’s a marketing thing.

    The batteries that are other colours of the rainbow don’t fit in my red tools so that’s a big deciding factor there. As far as corded or hand tools it doesn’t matter to me. Sometimes I spraypaint tools bright colours so they don’t get lost as easy.

    I usually don’t care what color the person that sells them to me is, but I could become concerned about their health if they have blueish or purple hues and might refuse to purchase products from people who are orange.

    I really like chartreuse, and am drawn to Ryobi for that reason. But I get most of my tools secondhand or as gifts, so I rarely pick.
