Alright, a little color lesson first. You know when you look at a bright color, let's say, for example, purple? When you look at it for a while, then take it away, you get an after-image in your sight. You will see yellow when the purple is taken away. It is also the reason why scrubs are worn, and why they are a cyan color. During surgery, surgeons are looking at the color red all the time, so when they look away, they will get a fuzzy after image and they cannot see properly. This could make them mess up. So, by wearing cyan, it cancels out the bright red color and doesn't mess up the surgeons vision. Also, scrubs are worn because if you get something on them (blood, bile, etc.), they can be throw away and easily be replaced. Hope this helped!

What colors are nurse's scrubs usually?

Scrubs are the shirts and trousers or gowns worn by nurses (perioperative nurse), surgeons, and other operating room personnel when "scrubbing in" for surgery. In the United Kingdom, they are sometimes known as Theatre Blues. They are designed to be simple with minimal places for dirt to hide, easy to launder, and cheap to replace if damaged or stained irreparably. The wearing of scrubs has been extended outside of surgery in many hospitals. Originally issued as replacement clothing if street clothing was contaminated, scrubs are now worn by any hospital personnel in any clean environment.

What are the quality fabric requirements of the nurses scrubs?

There aren't any "requirements" that I'm aware of. Like, a hospital won't tell its staff that everyone has to wear scrubs made out of "x" material only. Scrubs are generally made of cloth and spandex. They are designed to be loose fitting so the medical personnel in them can move around easily, and stain resistant, which makes laundering easier. Scrubs worn during sugery are usually made of plastic-type material and are not owned by the medical workers. Surgical scrubs are generally owned by the hospital and stored and washed there.
