There are two black and two white stripes that wrap the tower exactly 1 1/2 times, tapering as they spiral upwards. Each lighthouse has a unique "daymark" to allow mariners to recognize the lighthouse by day, and both Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras received their painted marks in 1873.

Why are lighthouses striped?
Not all lighthouses are striped but all lighthouses need to be visible during the daytime, as well as at night. The stripes on some lighthouses increase their visibility. Some lighthouses are black, because the angle from which they are usually seen by ships places them against the white clouds or bright blue sky, and the traditional white or striped lighthouse makes them hard to see against this background. +++ The pattern is actually to help identify it from the sea, where distance makes the shape of the coastline difficult to see.
