What do the different colors mean on painters tape?

Different colors of painter's tape often indicate varying levels of adhesion and intended surfaces. For example, blue tape is commonly used for delicate surfaces and offers moderate adhesion, while green tape is designed for rougher surfaces and provides stronger adhesion. Yellow tape is usually for multi-surface use, and purple tape is often intended for specialized applications, such as on textured or irregular surfaces. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the best use of each tape type.
