You will Never Guess What the Color of Your Scrubs Really Means

Scrubs have become a universal symbol of the healthcare profession. Whether in hospitals, clinics, or outpatient centers, you’ll see doctors, nurses, and medical staff wearing these simple yet essential garments. But scrubs are more than just workwear—they are designed for hygiene, comfort, professionalism, and even communication.

Why Are Scrubs Different Colors?

Scrubs come in a wide variety of colors—not just for fashion, but for practical and psychological reasons. Here’s why color matters:

1. Department Identification

a- Hospitals often assign specific scrub colors to different departments to help with quick recognition:

• Blue or Navy: Often worn by surgeons and OR staff. Blue reduces eye strain and stands out less against red (blood), making it easier for surgeons to focus.
• Green: Also used in surgical settings. Like blue, green contrasts with red and helps improve visual sharpness during procedures.
• Teal or Light Blue: Common in emergency departments or intensive care units.
• Maroon or Burgundy: Frequently used by nurses or medical assistants.
• White: Traditionally worn by doctors, but less common today due to visibility of stains and the perception of formality.
• Gray: Many hospitals and clinics assign specific colors of scrubs to different roles or departments. For example, Gray might be worn by technicians, phlebotomists, or administrative clinical staff.

b-What Do Pink Scrubs Mean in the Medical Field?

·      Pink scrubs are increasingly popular in the healthcare world—not just for their cheerful tone but also for what they can represent in terms of patient care, department identity, and emotional connection.

1-Pediatrics: Children often respond better to soft, warm colors like pink, which feel less intimidating than traditional white or navy.

2-Maternity & OB-GYN units: Pink symbolizes care and tenderness, which aligns perfectly with maternal and women's health.

3-Hospice or elder care: The gentle, nurturing message of pink scrubs can provide emotional support and reassurance.

Pink is widely associated with:

• Compassion
• Kindness
• Warmth
• Approachability

c- The Power of Wearing Pink in an Aesthetic Salon

In the beauty and wellness industry, what you wear communicates your brand, professionalism, and client experience. Pink is one of the most powerful and versatile colors in this setting.

Pink is associated with:

• Femininity and elegance
• Calmness and softness
• Romance, luxury, and self-care

When clients enter a salon, they’re looking for more than just a treatment—they want a relaxing, empowering, and personalized experience. Wearing pink reinforces that nurturing, feel-good atmosphere.

Not all pinks are overly bright or “girly.” Many salons opt for:

• Dusty rose
• Blush
• Mauve
• Muted coral
  These tones feel chic, modern, and clean—perfect for estheticians, lash techs, brow artists, and beauty therapists.

Pink uniforms or outfits can be tailored, polished, and branded to look professional while still being inviting and fashion-forward.

2. Role Differentiation

Color-coded scrubs help patients and staff distinguish between roles:

• A patient can quickly tell who is a nurse, phlebotomist, or respiratory therapist just by the color of their uniform.

3. Psychological Impact on Patients

Soft, calm colors like light blue, green, or lavender can help ease patient anxiety. Bright or overly dark colors might be avoided to maintain a soothing atmosphere, especially in pediatric or psychiatric units.

4. Branding and Uniformity

Hospitals or private practices may choose color schemes that align with their branding to present a unified, professional image.

How I Organize “My Closet”

In this post, I will share the idea of how Katey McFarlan Hellman from CHRONICLES OF FRIVOLITY, organizes her closet. It is so inspiring and fabulous. It will give us an idea of how we can organize ours.

Katey says that she has learned lots of tricks for making her closet stay somewhat clean. “Is it always this organized? Of course not! The only way I get ready in the morning, is by letting Maxi (her daughter) put on all my shoesands play with my purses. But the built-ins, Elfa Container Store drawers and bins make clean up take 5 minutes” she says.

TOP 3 UNIQUE ITEMS FOR ORGANIZINGCLOSETS

1.    Pant Hangers: The right hangers are crucial for closet organization. First off, you want great hangers because that will really determine how your clothing wears and lasts. If you stretch out the shoulders of a sweater, it just won’t lay right- no matter how much it cost! I love velvet hangers for 90% of everything, but for pants, I never felt that really worked. These pant hangers are honestly, one of my number one Amazon purchases of the year. They keep your pants neat and tidy and have given me SO much more room in that section.

2.      Basket Labels: No matter what type of baskets you use, labeling them is going to make a world of difference. These from the Container Store are one of my favorite things to buy there! I have used these all over our home from the laundry room to the linen closet and my closet is no exception. They clip snug on your baskets, so they won’t move around as you pull your baskets down. I never wonder where my gloves are or think things are lost, because I can quickly skim and know which basket to pull. These would make fabulous stocking stuffers for the organized friend of your group!

3.      GLAMdivide: If you are a handbag girl, you will love this. I love how it keeps my clutches and smaller bags sorted, and also acts as this virtual dust bag. Dust doesn’t collect on top, as the GLAMdivide protects the bags! I’ve had mine for 4 years now and I really think it has helped keep my bags sitting up, structured and looking new. Or maybe that is me justifying my obsession with handbags?

“Up top on my closet, I keep totes stored that are not in uses as well as suitcases and travel bags! Then you’ll see that shoe sorter by the white blazer. I use that section to store in-season shoes”, katey added.

 

Definitely, organization matters because when we keep organizing our closet, we can have a better idea of what we have at the moment, and what need to buy, sell or donate. Having an organized closet makes our brains more organized.

 

There are people who organize their closets by color, event (casual, work, formal), type (shirts, pants, shorts, dresses), complete outfits (with jewelry and shoe too), or season. Everyone has her / his personal style. I just wanted to share Katey’s style.
