In practice, the secondary reason why physicians use blue and green surgical clothing is that these two colors are complementary colors of human viscera and blood, that is, the relative colors on the hue ring.

On the color ring, the colors are displayed in the order of rainbow colors. The two colors with 180 degrees in the color ring are complementary colors. Color rings are used in many places, such as painting, printing and dyeing, graphic art, industrial design, even our visual fragmentary.

Why not white?

In fact, from the beginning, medical staff in the operating room wore white uniforms. Until a doctor found the disadvantages of the white uniform, when the doctor turned his vision from the white blood to the white uniform, he could not see things clearly at once. It's like when you go out in winter and see the sunlight reflected from the snow, you will be dizzy.

White not only causes glare, but also makes people prone to an optical illusion called afterimage. Because physicians have to fight every minute and pay close attention to the operation, they will keep a close eye on the white internal organs. If they look at their colleagues in white at this time, they may glance at the white walls, and they will often see the blue-green "ghost". Imagine seeing a green gut in a colleague's white coat

These blue-green afterimages can affect the physician's vision and judgment, which is very dangerous for patients. Snow sickness is a kind of disease that can often see snow on TV. Patients often see the afterimage

Who did white offend?

So, why is the afterimage so distinct on a white background? White and white are complementary to each other. After staring at white for a period of time, the brain will be particularly sensitive to blue-green (desensitization to white). But in the blue-green background, the white afterimage does not stand out in the background. Therefore, the use of blue-green surgical clothes not only does not affect doctors to do surgery, but also improves their sensitivity to white, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
