Why dry gloves are in blue color?

[Zef]

Highly recommend the Showa 720 nitrile glove....they are extremely durable, they do not become as stiff as the PVC gloves, and are much more cut/tear/puncture resistant than latex gloves.

They are also flocked with acrylic instead of cotton so they dry quicker if they get wet and they tend not to develop the funk that cotton flocked gloves develop.

This industrial glove supply merchant's blog suggests that blue is used for non-latex gloves (usually nitrile) as a visual indicator that it's safe to use for people who do have latex allergies.

I use black showas, made in Japan but cannot get them here, go figure, bought a bunch out of the UK:

Not an answer to your question though, lucky it's SB.

Can't remember where I read it, but another diver pointed out that colored gloves make reading hand signals much easier.

(As most exposure suits/dive gear is black.)

That maybe true. Most of my diving is solo. I chose form over function. Almost all wetsuit gloves are black not sure it's a real world issue. YMMV.
