Color code chart for tarpaulin - an explanation

Before explaining this, it’s important to mention that no national (much less global) standards for tarpaulin coding exist. This means that different companies make up their own color coding charts according to their operations and, of course, convenience. So the same colored tarp can have different uses and meanings for different manufacturers.

That said, there is a general meaning that tarp users and manufacturers understand for different colors of a tarp. For example:

● If a tarp is blue, orange, or green, it is designed for the general public. People who are engaged in lower-scale industrial work love these products. This includes those involved in the construction, home repair, farming, and landscaping industry. Blue is the color of choice because they’re easy to use and understand. Their more neutral color also makes it easier to see.

● If a tarp is yellow, orange, or red, it is designed for road work and other dangerous work areas. Workers love to use red tarps to signify a dangerous area on the road because of road work being done.

● If a tarp is white and/or silver, it’s designed to protect people from the Sun’s harmful rays and intense heat. It’s no surprise that tents designed for public functions are often white.

● If a tarp is black and/or dark grey, it’s designed to keep whatever is underneath it cool. This type of tarp absorbs the heat energy from the Sun. These tarps are used in construction, home repair, and landscaping work.
